According to the National Academy of Science the 3 new species use methane, with the help of bacteria, to get energy.

Here are 10 of the strangest deep-sea creatures ever discovered in the Earth's oceans. By definition, the deep sea is any part of the ocean deeper than 200 meters (656 feet).

More than 5,500 deep-sea species reside in the area of the Pacific known as the Clarion Clipperton Zone, and roughly 90 percent of them have yet to be described by science, according to a new study.

A recently published study explores the relationship between sea spiders and bacteria. Discover more and meet one of the study's researchers.

This previously unknown symbiotic relationship helps keep methane—a major greenhouse gas—trapped in the ocean.
