The Ice Dragonfish

Let us now talk about another strange creature in the Antarctic Ocean. The ice dragonfish, officially called Cryodraco antarcticus, has adapted to survive the harsh weather conditions. It has proteins in its blood that function as antifreeze so that it does not freeze over. Its blood is also clear because it has no need for hemoglobin to keep the circulation of oxygen in the body going.
