Mystery solved! 🕵️ While studying underwater footage from a 2013 Chatham Rise survey, NIWA researchers kept seeing horseshoe-shaped imprints in the seabed but had no idea what they were or why they were there. 🤔 After much head scratching, the team hypothesised that they might be from deepsea rattail fish looking for their next meal. 💡 Some species of rattail have a long snout and an extendable mouth that they use to feed off the seafloor. 🐟 To investigate their theory, the team overlaid head profile images of specific rattail species with images of the seabed impressions. To their delight, the images fit together perfectly, and the team were able to provide good evidence that the impressions were made by two rattail species. 🖼️ Read the full story at the link in our bio. 🔗 #fishy #mysterysolved #rattail #deepsea #grenadier #seafloormsytery #aotearoa #newzealand #welovescience
