Hag Fish Surround Crab Trap | Nautilus Live

Hag Fish are virtually blind and their only self-defense mechanisms are to tie themselves in knots and to choke their predators with slime. They can go months without eating, but when they do, they bury themselves face first in dead or dying carcasses and eat them from the inside out. E/V Nautilus is exploring the ocean studying biology, geology, archeology, and more. Watch for live video from the ocean floor. For live dive updates follow along on social media at
