Other adaptations help the sea animals ward off and escape predators. In the field notes article, "Trip into
Blackness," it explains how jellyfish and other bioluminescent fish use their lights to ward off predators.
These bright lights scare creatures, even large predators. This saves them from being eaten or killed. Source
one, "Giant Squid (Architeuthis dux)," lists the purpose of several squid's funnel which is mainly used to
remain out of harm's way. It states that a funnel, "pumps water, creating jet propulsion" and "serves to squirt
ink." The funnel serves multiple purposes which mostly are used to defend itself. The jet propulsion is used to
quickly escape a dangerous situation. The ink is squirted towards the predators as a distraction so that they
can get away. Both of these articles extend upon adaptive traits obtained by several deep sea creatures, this
proves the point that these adaptations are helping them survive their predators. It ranges from squirting ink,
being able to quickly swim away, or even scare away their predators with bright lights. Along with traits that
serve as a defense mechanism against predators, adaptations can help the sea creatures catch food.
It shows that squid's have ink.
It states that deep-sea creatures can also catch food.
It proves that deep-sea creatures have adaptations that help them survive by
