A unique new species of sea slug Bathydevius typically lives thousands of feet below the surface, far from the coastal tide pools or kelp forests that many sea slugs prefer. It also captures its ...
Researchers caught the animals with hand nets underwater, according to a new study. Volcanic ocean creature — with ‘long’ legs — discovered in Japan. It’s a new species
The deep-sea dwellers use cracks under the surface to move around, the researchers said. Life discovered in deep-sea volcanic holes, scientists say. See the ocean creatures
For the deep-sea ecosystem, the death of a whale is the most important event. A dead whale can bring hundreds of tons of organic matter to the bottom. Whale fall community progresses through three stages: [32] Mobile scavenger stage: Big and mobile deep-sea animals arrive at the site almost immediately after whales fall on the bottom.
After it was featured on television programs and social media, a crowdfunded expedition sampled specimens of the animal in 2021. The researchers formally described it three years later. Clavelina ossipandae lives at around 20 metres (66 ft) of depth, anchored to the surface of coral reefs with strong currents.
Kiwa hirsuta is a crustacean discovered in 2005 in the South Pacific Ocean. [1] This decapod, which is approximately 15 cm (5.9 in) long, is notable for the quantity of silky blond setae (resembling fur) covering its pereiopods (thoracic legs, including claws). Its discoverers dubbed it the "yeti lobster" or "yeti crab". [2]
Scientists found an eight-eyed animal that chases its prey in leaves of Kerala and discovered a new species, a study said. NO. 4: ‘STRANGE’ 8-EYED CREATURE — A SPEEDY HUNTER — FOUND IN ...
Environments in which subsurface life has been found [1]. The deep biosphere is the part of the biosphere that resides below the first few meters of the ocean's surface. It extends 10 kilometers below the continental surface and 21 kilometers below the sea surface, at temperatures that may reach beyond 120 °C (248 °F) [2] which is comparable to the maximum temperature where a metabolically ...
