Giant marine life found in Antarctica

[slowhand]

WELLINGTON, New Zealand - Scientists who conducted the most comprehensive survey to date of New Zealand's Antarctic waters were surprised by the size of some specimens found, including jellyfish with 12-foot tentacles and 2-foot-wide starfish.


A 2,000-mile journey through the Ross Sea that ended Thursday has also potentially turned up several new species, including as many as eight new mollusks.

I was just reading this story. Everything is huge!

The size of the jellyfish was unbelievable.

Hopefully, they find more.

This reminds me of another thread that had been posted maybe a month ago. It seems that in these deep, cold waters, certain creatures grow to unheard of sizes. This article posits some suggestions why this might be. Good article.
