Some people are afraid of diving into the deep sea because some creatures could be lurking just below them. But what if they really have reasons to be afraid, especially when they encounter these three bizarre creatures found beneath Antarctica's deepest parts.
The first creature they saw is a "sea spider," one of the intriguing animals in the Antarctica group system since they are more diverse and grow very large. The animal has no body and basically all legs, which is unlike anything the researchers know about.
Another bizarre creature called "polychaete worm" was revealed during Bowden's interview with New Zealand's National Institute of Water and Atmospheric Research (NIWA). He said that it is usually found under a rock. However, the worm is much larger than usual.
The last specimen is an extraordinary assembly of sea lilies or "crinoids," closely related to sea urchins. The scientist explained that it is the first time they've seen it alive on the seafloor since crinoids are usually found as fossils.
