maiocus
Maiocus is a rare and enigmatic species of deep-sea fish found in the hadal zone, the deepest region of the ocean. It was first discovered in 2019 during an expedition to the Mariana Trench, the deepest point in the world's oceans. The fish is named after the Greek word "maios," meaning "greater," reflecting its large size and the fact that it is one of the deepest-living vertebrates known to science.
Maiocus is characterized by its elongated, serpentine body and large, round eyes, which are adapted for low-light
Despite its fascinating adaptations, Maiocus is currently classified as Data Deficient by the IUCN Red List
