The gulper eel, also known as the pelican eel, is one of the strangest looking fish in the sea. Its mouth is disproportionately large for its body, and can open wide to consume animals much larger than the eel itself. They use their mouth to scoop up prey, similar to how a pelican used its large beak. Like the anglerfish, the gulper eel has a bioluminescent organ that scientist theorize could be used to attract prey.
