One look at a common fangtooth and it's easy to see how this fish got its name.
Like many deep sea fishes, a common fangtooth has large, sharp teeth for capturing food that comes its way.
When a fish or shrimp swims nearby, a common fangtooth simply opens its big mouth and sucks the animal inside.
Animals caught in its trap have little chance of wriggling free.
