5 New Species Of Sea Creatures Discovered

in #photography7 years ago

The land, sea, and air are full of millions of creatures that we still haven't discovered yet. So many exist and yet are still concealed from humans. They are out of reach of technology too, irrespective of how advance it is. This is just a brilliant ability that nature has. However, thanks to some of the technology manufactured, a lot of unique creatures have been discovered that we would have never imagined existed!

Associated with the seahorse, this red sea-dragon was exposed off the coast of Western Australia. Quantifying approximately a foot in size, this remarkable nautical creature avoided discovery by existing in a deep sea environment.

2) Anglerfish (Lasiognathus dinema)

After an in-depth exploration of natural resources by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration following the Deep-water Horizon oil spill in 2010, a new type of anglerfish was revealed. Specialists at SUNY ESF established this species to be among the most strange in the deep-sea.

3) Dumbo Octopi

The Census of Marine Life has classified at least nine species of unusual, primeval, glutinous "Dumbo" octopods existing in the water. Dumbos drift through the blackness by flapping their giant elephant-like fins. They can get as long 6 feet in length.

4) Fang-tooth Fish

The terrifying Fang-tooth is amid the deepest-living fish ever learned about. This fish has a normal environment which arrays as tall as 6,500 feet (2,000 meters). However, experts say that it has been found reeling at frosty, severe depths near 16,500 feet (5,000 meters). This fish is only about 6 inches long but their teeth are the most prevalent, equivalent to the body size of another fish.
