Who knows the amount of life still undiscovered in the depths of the world’s oceans? With three fourths of Earth’s surface covered by water, chances are we still have tons of life to encounter and maybe the “Cascade Creature” is one. This YouTube video has been making the rounds since it was uploaded April 27th – you be the judge. New Creature, Plastic Bag, Bed Sheet or Something we already know about?
Many marine species can’t be photographed underwater for a variety of different reasons. Some animals are too small, some spend their life burrowed in the seafloor, and some live in the dark depths where nobody can dive. At our station, we collect specimens using different methods and as a result are able to make photos and then show a wide range of animals, which we haven’t previously seen in their natural environment. You can see some of them here in this project, and also it contains photos of some more common, yet very beautiful White Sea inhabitants.
