Since human exploration of the universe, human beings have fantasized about the image of countless alien creatures, such as the triangular head in the movie "et Alien", but these are only scenes in the movie. Today I will talk about animals that resemble alien creatures in real life.
In 2017, a woman found an animal with tentacles all over her body and smooth touch on the surface while swimming on the bottom of the sea, and after the woman took the creature ashore, her friends around her had never seen it. This animal is the sea pig. As early as 1882, Swedish zoologists discovered this mysterious creature in the deep sea. The appearance of the sea pig is very strange, his body is only the size of an adult's palm, but it has five to seven pairs of antennae, which are actually the enlarged foot tubes of the sea pig, in addition to helping him crawl quickly on the seabed, the foot tubes can also be extended and shortened at will. It is convenient for him to detect chemicals in the mud in the water, find the best place to forage, and the opening field under the foot tube of the head is a circle of small tentacles, like a round mop. This is the sign that they have become ambassadors for ocean cleaning.
In addition, like snails, the sea pig has a pair of tentacles on the top of its head to maintain balance, to detect food and dangers although the sea pig is called a sea pig, he is not a pig, nor a fish, but a sea cucumber and starfish. Sea urchins are relatives with transparent pink rounded bellies, like newborn suckling pigs. But sea pigs are inedible, and their skin contains a lot of toxins, because the skin of sea pigs is bare, the defense is extremely low, and carrying toxins can help them defend against some predators.
Scientists have made several attempts to study sea pigs. On June 22, 2019, China's Ocean-going Comprehensive Research Vessel Science also sampled and photographed sea pigs during the dive. However, there are still many unsolved mysteries about sea pigs, which decompose quickly after leaving the water, cannot be dissected, and cannot be farmed. Nor can we know his longevity and habits.
After talking about the transparent sea pig, let's talk about the seabed light fish - anglerfish, which is very recognizable on the seabed because it has a long spine at the tip of its dorsal fin. The long-spined top laces glow with bacteria, like a lantern on top of a fish's head, to lure prey.
The different species in their family vary greatly, as small as about ten centimeters. It is as large as 1.5 meters, but the body structure is much similar, the head is flat and wide, gray-black in the seawater, the fish mouth is wide, and the teeth are sharp, sharp and dense. Count by group, including two groups up and down, two to three rows each. Unlike the smooth and tender sea pig, the anglerfish has poor skin.
Mother Lai Lai has many folds, after all, she is a carnivorous animal, fierce in appearance, ugly and normal. But there are always exceptions to everything. In August 2012, marine scientists discovered a mutant anglerfish in the deep waters off the coast of California, USA, with an all-over red body, a rouge that instantly doubled, and the new species could change its body color on its own as it grew.
In addition to his alien appearance, the anglerfish's mating style is also amazing, and he is definitely one of the most loyal species in the entire animal kingdom. Anglers move slowly and alone on the ocean floor, and it is quite difficult to meet a member of the opposite sex. Therefore, once the male encounters the right female, he will bite through the female's abdomen and attach to the fish, the female's abdominal tissue regeneration is extremely strong, and the wound heals quickly. And wrap the male fish, from then on the male fish is part of the female fish's body, from then on to draw nutrients from the body, the two fish in and out.
Imagine if human beings had such a powerful ability to regenerate. How will human history evolve?
There are no wonders in nature, whether it is a transparent sea pearl or a mutated anglerfish, they all conform to the laws of nature to evolve and reproduce as humans, equally important, reverence for nature, reverence for life, understanding them, is to understand human beings themselves about the species of animals, well, today's video is here, thank you for your support.
