It seems like Elon Musk can’t wait to start exploring space and colonize Mars. By doing this, it looks like we already know everything that is going on on our planet! But what if we tell you that each day, new things get discovered and that we haven’t explored nearly as much as it might seem? Recently, explorers found a new Ghostly predator species deep in the ocean! Keep on reading and discover more about this creature!
Dulcibella camanchaca, the alien-like ghostly predator of the deep sea!
While Mount Everest is the highest point on Earth, there are also deep parts of Earth. These ocean trenches are some of the least understood places on our planet. And while you might think that the forces of water pressure and frigid temperatures make it so that no one can survive down there, there is actually a lot of life!
Unfortunately, humans have yet to explore everything that exists on this planet. However, researchers do their best each year to discover new species. As new technology is developed, they’re able to go a little further into the depths of the ocean each time. Recently, researchers discovered the Dulcibella camanchaca, a new Ghostly predator species that moves fast, looks alien-like, and lives around 7902 meters below the surface! It was first seen in the Atacama Trench off South America’s coast. The predator acts differently than other scavenger trench dwellers, adding another unanswered question to the mysteries of the deep-sea world. Since sunlight can’t reach those depths, the creature doesn’t have any color and is incredibly hard to spot on cameras!
We have only explored about 5% of the oceans!
Even though there are multiple organizations that are capable of performing underwater research, there are places where humans have yet to go. Scientists claim that around 5-10% of the oceans on our globe have been explored. This leaves us to explore more than 90% of the oceans! Each year, technology improves, and we get to explore more of our mysterious underwater world. And with discoveries like the Dulcibella camanchaca, it seems like we still have a long way to go. Do you think that there is more to the ocean than we know or do you think there are just more fish down there?
