Description
Not all monsters are myths. “Sub” brings the terrifying reality of deep-sea gigantism to life, as an enormous titan shrimp looms over a tiny submarine. This adult female is no exception to the continuous growth seen in abyssal crustaceans—every molt bringing her closer to becoming an unstoppable force in the darkness.
Deep-sea gigantism is a biological phenomenon where creatures grow to extreme sizes due to cold temperatures, efficient metabolism, and the need to cover vast distances in search of scarce food. Larger body mass also helps with oxygen absorption, a crucial adaptation in the low-oxygen waters of the deep.
For the scientists aboard the submarine, theories won’t matter much now. Whatever secrets the deep holds, they are about to come face to face with one of them.
