Recently, there is a foreign science fiction movie that is being released, based on the novel of the same name by the famous American science fiction writer Frank Herbert, "Dune".
In this science fiction story, the family of the young Paul Ertridi controls a desert planet named Arakis, and on this planet, there is an unusually powerful monster , the sandworm.
The sandworm, which is more than 100 meters long and has an extremely vicious face, has become the overlord of the planet Arakis, and when humans mine on the planet Araakis in order to obtain the spices of the planet Arakis, the sandworm also wakes up, and the danger is imminent.
We all know that in real life, there is no such terrible creature on the earth, but there are still some creatures that look like the prototype of "sandworms", according to reports, recently a foreign diver, when diving in the deep sea, found a very terrible giant monster, it floats in the water, very scary.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="5" > divers have found giant monsters more than ten meters long in the deep sea</h1>
From the appearance point of view, this giant monster found by the diver in the deep sea, it and the sandworm in "Dune", there will be many similarities, it does not have any biological characteristics, more than 10 meters long body twisted in the ocean, one end of the body has a huge circular opening, it seems to be able to swallow everything.
Because they do not know it, divers also think that they have encountered a "sea monster", after all, human beings actually have a very one-sided understanding of the deep sea, and there are still many unknown creatures in the deep sea.
So, are there really "monsters" in the deep sea? What is the giant monster that divers found in the deep sea this time? Needless to say, there are really researchers who know it.
The introduction of knowing this "sea monster", this giant monster with a body length of more than 10 meters, it is actually a "fire bug" in the ocean, which is a very primitive and very mysterious marine creature, of course, for those who are afraid of the deep sea themselves, the "fire bug" is also their nightmare.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="24" > so what exactly is a "fire bug"? </h1>
Fire worms are a kind of zooplankton, because of the lack of effective ability to move, so it will look as if floating in the sea, in fact, they can also swim autonomously, but the speed is very slow, because it will give people a feeling of "going with the flow".
In terms of distribution, in the deep sea areas of Indonesia, the Philippines and Malaysia, it is possible to see the fire insect, because the sea water here will be relatively warmer, and at the same time, the deep-sea basin with a depth of 5,000 meters is also the favorite habitat of the fire insect.
The reason why in the ocean, the fire insect looks very "weird", and another reason is because the fire body insect itself will emit light, so in the deep sea, the original dark marine environment, the fire body insect emitting biological light, it looks very more conspicuous, because they are more than 10 meters long, naturally it will be frightening.
As we mentioned above, only one end of the body of the fire body worm has a circular opening, and this opening is also the only passage used by the fire body worm for eating and excretion, yes, you read it right, as an extremely primitive sea creature, the fire body worm does have only such an opening part.
How big is the opening of the Fire Worm? If an adult is close to it, it is easy to follow this circular opening and enter the inside of the body of the fire body, but because the fire body worm is a filter eater, in fact, their huge body only feeds on plankton, and in the ocean, it is also at the lowest end of the ecological chain.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="25" > so, are fireworms really very rare? </h1>
Because the fire bug prefers to live in warm waters, in fact, in the past, the number of fire bugs on the earth was not much, but in recent years, researchers have found that the number of fire bugs seems to be rising.
Some people believe that this may be due to the warming of seawater caused by the greenhouse effect, which has led to abnormal warming of seawater in many seas, which has become suitable for the survival of fire insects.
However, this actually has a problem: because if the temperature of the sea water begins to drop, then the large number of fire insects that are now large is bound to die on a large scale because the sea water becomes cold.
In this way, it is possible that a large number of fire insect carcasses will appear in the ocean, thus consuming more oxygen to decompose, and in this process, it is very likely to lead to the loss of oxygen in the seawater, resulting in other marine organisms being affected.
In addition, what many people don't know is that although it seems that the fire body insect is very large, each one is more than 10 meters long, and the largest known fire body worm is more than 30 meters long, in fact, the fire body worm is not a single individual, they are composed of thousands of fire body insects of different sizes, thus becoming a "combination monster" that also looks very complete.
Of course, from the perspective of personality, the fire body worm is much more docile than the sand worm in "Dune", at least for humans, there is no threat, everyone can rest assured.
