Sea Pigs
Scotoplanes, also known as seapigs live on, or just underneath, the bottom of the ocean and feed on the mud of the seafloor specifically on the abyssal plain in the Atlantic, Pacific and Indian Ocean, typically at depths of over 1000 meters. Scientists haven't yet worked out how they are such a successful deep-sea creature
Seapigs have enlarged tube feet that have taken a leg-like appearance. They are also known as deposit feeders, since they extract organic particles from deep-sea mud. They also prefer rich organic food that fallen from the ocean's surface such as whale corpses.
