I love seeing different ways of talking about this "dark" story. One of my favorites.
wired.com
Scientists have found that some fishes absorb up to 99.956 percent of the light that hits them. The deep-sea menagerie just got a whole lot weirder.

Kudos to our own @bcg5574 and science writing intern @BenkoRaven for a story of our work last January in the Turks and Caicos caves: Happy International #PolychaeteDay.

Smithsonian marine scientist Brett Gonzalez spent 10 days exploring the flooded caves of the Turks and Caicos in search of a rare predatory scale worm.
