Georgia [21]
The answer is right below.

The bulk of this species’ diet consists of fish in the teleost infraclass, including dragonfish, rattails, anglerfish, and more. They are also known to feed on crustaceans and cephalopods like squid.

These sharks will prey on fish found both on the sea floor and in the water column. Because they are so slow moving, scientists believe these sharks are ambush predators. Their pinkish-red skin actually blends in when in the deep sea.

Stels [109]

Particularly, the red blood cells that make-up blood within the body. These cells have the ability to carry oxygen, carbon dioxide, glucose, and water to pass through the capillaries.
