'They've got really loose, flabby, gelatinous skin.'
We stan the "bony-eared a**fish." Yes, that's its actual name.Ooey-gooey translucent eels! A deepwater dumpling! A silver specimen that walks on little stilts!
A dazzling array of fabulously strange deep sea creatures were just discovered off of Australia's Western Coast, where scientists mapped the seafloor of two new marine parks for the very first time. "We are really excited about the prospect of discovering new species, perhaps even new branches of the tree of life," Tim O'Hara, Museums Victoria senior curator of marine invertebrates, said in aabout the discoveries, "which until now have remained hidden beneath the waves in this unexplored region."
And boy, were the researchers right. After trawling the deep sea at depths ranging from nearly 197 feet to roughly 18,045 feet, the scientists returned home with a host of marine creatures — a number of which, as the researchers have estimated, will likely prove to be new to science.
