Unique faces in deep sea (Phylogenetic tree) - Animals in the Habitats, and Biodiversity

Classified animal picture guide. Clicking the Organism name shows the images, and pointing the Organism name shows the tooltip with three links at the left-top corner.
A lot of animals with unique faces live in deep sea. The explanation in brackets is the habitats and the depth they live. For example, "100-2000m" shows a range between 100 meters and 2000 meters.
