Scientists discover rare marine species

[slowhand]

MANILA, Philippines - Scientists exploring a deep ocean basin in search of species isolated for millions of years found marine life believed to be previously undiscovered, including a tentacled orange worm and an unusual black jellyfish.


Project leader Dr. Larry Madin said Tuesday that U.S. and Philippine scientists collected about 100 different specimens in a search in the Celebes Sea south of the Philippines.

We know more about our solar system and other planets than we do our own! The worlds oceans are mainly unexplored. Who knows what else is really in our oceans that we may never find!

it looks like a fuckin' metroid.

Well, very interesting. As long as there are no such things like Tripods down there :helpme:

In my opinion we should first fully discover and search for new unknown beings on our own planet before thinking about conquering the mars

Scary War-of-the-World-looking jellyfish! Dammit, the weird things they find in this country. I hope they can put those in a SeaWorld type of place.

They come apart without the enormous pressure of the deep sea.
