Benthic Zone The  benthic zone  is the ecological region at the lowest level of a body of water such as an ocean or a lake, including the sediment surface and some sub-surface layers. Organisms living in this zone are called benthos. They generally live in close relationship with the substrate bottom; many such organisms are permanently attached to the bottom.

Here a some animals in the Benthic zone

Deep Sea creatures These are some deep sea creatures. Some of these animals live on the seafloor bottom.

Oarfish This fish may look like the naga, but it isn’t as strong as the naga. The oarfish is a wired creature because it comes up to breathe air like a mammal.

Giant squid The giant squid can grow up to 13 m(43ft). The giant squid also feeds on sperm whales, they have never been seen alive.

Hatchet fish AKA marine hatchet fish, the hatchet fish is also see through in the dark. There family is thesternopychidea, they are related to the fresh water hatchet fish

Snipe eel

Gulper eel The Saccopharyngiformes are an order of unusual ray-finned fish, superficially similar to eels, but with many internal differences. Most of the fish in this order are deep-sea types known from only a handful of specimens, such as the pelican eel.

Lantern fish Lantern fishes (or myctophids, from the Greek  mykter , "nose" and  ophis , "serpent") are small mesopelagic fish of the large family Myctophidae.
