Strange marine creatures found in Antarctica (The Secrets of Antarctica)

A new documentary released on YouTube called "The Secrets of Antarctica" reveals strange sea creatures that have never been seen before, such as sea lilies that have so far only been documented as fossils and spiders with tiny bodies and huge legs.

The film documents the journey of a team of researchers on the frozen continent, using state-of-the-art seabed scanning technology.



Dr. Dave Bowden recounted his astonishment at the strange life forms he discovered. In addition to sea lilies and strange spiders, the crew found sea-soaked ones that have no nervous or digestive systems and are nourished by filtering water through their pores. He said: Isolated from the rest of the earth for many, many years. "About the spider, he said:" It is a sea spider, which is one of the most intriguing groups in the Antarctic group system, which is much more diverse than the rest of the world.

These creatures reach a significant size.

There is a tendency for some of the groups to be huge (high floor).

In the case of the spiders, it's all legs, they have almost no body, it's unlike anything we've seen before. "

He added: "Here's an example of another amazing animal. It's a worm from the bristle department, you'll usually find them under rocks, but it's much bigger than usual. The one that developed in Antarctica and does not exist anywhere else. "



"One of my most fascinating finds from the voyage was on Mount Metzula, north of the Ross Sea, where we found an unusual collection of sea lilies - crinoids - that are closely related to sea urchins. The main difference is that they are anchored in one location. The only place we have seen them before is fossils. We have not seen anything like this live on the seabed. "
