      Hey tz10!

      So while it is very dark making it difficult for them see there are animals that create their own light. There is a nice video here that show you some of the animals that produce their own light: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9HXXQBz6Vv0

      The abyssal grenadier can see these flashes of light but they aren’t able to see them as clearly as humans can. They see the light as blobs of light rather than seeing the outline of the animals. So they haven’t completely lost their sight but they rely on their noses more than their eyes for searching for food.
