Its enormous, rubbery mouth is adapted for filter feeding on plankton at depths typically between 150 and 1,000 meters, proving that even giant vertebrates can evade scientific detection well into the modern era.
The late discovery underscores how vast regions of the deep ocean remain biologically underexplored, leaving open the possibility that other large species still move through darkness beyond routine observation.
