The Gulper Eel (AKA Pelican Eel) is a rarely encountered deep sea creature known for its creepy 'smile'. Its jaws are of a highly unusual structure and allow for a 'ballooning' of the mouth in order to capture prey. Often cited as one of the scariest of the strange oddities found in the deep oceans, Gulper Eels have increasingly come into contact with humans as ROV encounters continue.
