Beautiful and Bizarre Creatures Found in Antartica Ocean
Recently, scientists investigating the icy waters of Antartica have found gigantic sea spiders and some never seen before ocean creatures such glass tulips and giant worms.
The glass tulips are actually bizarre-looking creatures called tunicates, plankton-eating animals that resemble slender glass structures up to a yard tall “standing in fields like poppies said the researcher.
The giant worm, at 10 inches (250 mm) long and weighing 11 ounces (300 gm), is an example of a phenomenon called ”gigantism,” which scientists still do not fully understand. It is known that gigantism can be commonly found in the Antartic waters.
Giant sea spiders crawling all over, do see you them?
