Spustili kameru na 250 metara dubine i snimili džinovskog monstruma: Prizor je zaprepastio naučnike!
Naučnici koji istražuju dubine okeana zabeležili su redak i izuzetno neobičan prizor, tokom ekspedicije u južnom Atlantiku, u vodama nedaleko od obale Argentine.
TL;DR
- A rare giant jellyfish (Stygiomedusa gigantea) was filmed by a remotely operated vehicle (ROV) in the southern Atlantic off the coast of Argentina.
- This species was first discovered in 1899 and remains poorly studied, with approximately 100 documented sightings and only a dozen video recordings globally.
- The jellyfish can grow to impressive sizes, with arms over 10 meters long and a bell exceeding one meter in diameter.
- It typically inhabits the 'twilight zone' where sunlight is minimal, and its diet is believed to consist of plankton and small fish, though its survival methods are largely unknown.
- Studying these creatures was historically difficult due to their fragile nature when brought to the surface, making modern ROV technology crucial for research.
