You’ve heard of the dragon, a mythical creature breathing fire, gracing the pages of fantasy novels and movies. But have you met its real-world underwater counterpart, the dragonfish? Dive with us as we explore these captivating creatures of the abyss.
The dragonfish are meso and bathypelagic — this means they spend their time in the medium and deep parts of the oceans. In fact, some dragonfish can live at depths up to 4,500 m. (14,800 feet), although other species of dragonfish migrate closer to the surface, especially at night.
Dragonfish are distributed all around the world. They are found in the terrifying depths of the oceans’ “twilight zone” and beyond in each of the five oceans of the world.
