It is a vital source of food for the animals that live under the sea. After all, it uses sunlight to transport energy and nutrients from different areas of the sea.

Krill Poo Too
However, there is another significant food source deep in the Antarctic Ocean. We’re talking about krill poop! Krill are tiny crustaceans that dwell in the seas and perform an important function. To be more precise, their feces turns the sea bottom into a muddy environment that is suitable for sustaining life at that level. It just so happens that the animals that thrive in the region are some of the most unusual species you’ll ever see.
