For nearly three decades, robots with cameras have crawled along the ocean floor off the coast of central California at depths as deep as two and half miles below. Cameras on these remotely operated vehicles captured the feeding habits of anything that didn't flee them. They revealed 242 unique feeding relationships comprising 84 different predators and 82 different prey items. Building on prior research using other methods, these videos enhance understanding of the deep sea food web. [Source: New York Times]
