Ultra-black fish that absorb 99.5% of light found in the deep ocean
Scientists have discovered ultra-black fish that absorb almost all light that hits them, allowing them to effectively hide in the ocean's darkest parts. The discovery was made by a team led by scientists from Smithsonian and Duke University. The fish were found to absorb 99.5% of all light, making them appear as "little more than silhouettes" even in direct light.
