Previously, Xiaobian mainly focused on beautiful and mysterious glass octopuses, taking everyone to see many kinds of random-looking octopuses in the ocean.
But in the sea, there are also many strange jellyfish.
Just last December, Jellyfish also sent a heavyweight player, which appeared in a slightly eerie-looking short video with a sinister appearance.
This jellyfish is called Chirodectes maculatus. Its strange and mysterious appearance is only the second time it has been photographed by humans, 24 years after the last time.
According to the photographer, the jellyfish is larger than a football and swims fast, with dotted circles and translucent structures that make it wonder if it is a creature on Earth.
Several sets of dark red tentacles twisted and turned, ah this... Is this a few jellyfish sewn together...
If Xiaobian saw it, he would never dare to get so close to it.
However, the jellyfish that shocked netizens is not the only one.
Next, this jellyfish became popular earlier, and it was equally shocking, and scientists photographed its brown-black giant beast at a depth of nearly a thousand meters, which made people breathless and oppressive.
A thing with a body length of more than ten meters floated silently in the dark deep sea, and it was really possible to be regarded as a messenger of an evil villain before.
It is a rare species of jellyfish - Styx water jellyfish.
Since its discovery in 1899, don't look at its size, for more than a hundred years, humans can only see it once a year on average, which is about equal to the relationship between the cowherd and the weaver girl.
Four 10-meter-or-so banded tentacles make it look like a terrifying Dementor from Harry Potter, feeling sucked away by it the next second.
In fact, these tentacles are indeed used to let them catch prey, and if they are caught, they don't want to escape easily.
And in contrast to its title of one of the world's largest jellyfish, human understanding of Styx can be said to be very small, and the specific habits still have to wait for further research by scientists.
In terms of the atmosphere of Hades, it may be styrene that is better.
Next, change the style.
This is a kind of cute looking jellyfish, silver coin jellyfish, named for its small round shape and slightly silvery hard parts, the process of opening the tentacles looks very comfortable and decompressed.
Scattered on the beach really looks like a silver coin who landed here.
Unfortunately, although they have many hands, they do not have the ability to swim, and can only go with the flow, and they can often see it in the warm current.
The purple highlighted creature below is another jellyfish that humans rarely see, commonly known as firework jellyfish.
The transparent roof reflects the light of the deep-sea probe, and the viscera and tentacles that emit bio-light look like fireworks blooming in the sea.
But in normal times, this jellyfish is dim and dull, and it is difficult not to think that it was born to be active in the spotlight.
Next, let's look at this kind of jellyfish with opposite routines, the Yuanju jellyfish, also known as the placenta jellyfish.
They look different from ordinary jellyfish with lids and tentacles, no regular shape, more like a deflated leather ball with a small opening.
The laser pointer hit it, and without paying attention, it thought it was shining on human plastic garbage...
In addition to this, there are some jellyfish whose appearance conveys a unique message to humans.
For example, this omelette jellyfish, from the tentacle end, is actually nothing, but from above it is a sun egg in the sea.
The alarm jellyfish looks like the circular lights on a police car, and the magic is that its head is like a street lamp filled with inert gas, and there is also gas that glows slightly.
The monk's hat jellyfish that has recently been out of the circle because of its deadly toxicity has tentacles that are comparable to cobra venom and are several meters long.
By the time you can see it up close in the ocean, it may be too late.
It always feels like humans have been finding all kinds of strange life in the sea, and I don't know when SpongeBob, who loves to catch jellyfish, will be discovered by us?
