Short Wave

The Mystery Mollusk Roaming The Midnight Zone

15 Nov 2024

Description

This critter lurks in the ocean's midnight zone, has a voluminous hood, is completely see through and is bioluminescent. It's unlike any nudibranchs deep sea experts have ever seen before — and now, the researchers who spent twenty years studying them have finally published their findings.
