Question by Matt C: How are deep sea animals able to withstand the tremendous water pressure in the ocean?
It takes special materials to assemble a deep sea diving vessel capable of holding against deep sea water pressure, yet organisms inhabiting this zone are able to do so naturally. I don’t understand the biological mechanism that allows this.

Think just a bit. ” It takes special materials to assemble a deep sea diving vessel”,
because that vessel must carry air at ‘surface’ pressures within it.
Deep sea animals are mostly non-compressible fluid, and don’t even ‘feel’
pressure changes at all.
