Researchers with Australia’s Museums Victoria Research study Institute have actually discovered a group of formerly undiscovered deep-sea animals living near undersea volcanoes in a remote part of the Indian Ocean.
The discovery of the organisms, which vary from eels without any eyes, to bat-like fish, to lizard fish with rows of razor-sharp teeth, and more, was made at a marine park near the Cocos (Keeling) Islands, a group of islands and atolls approx 900 miles south of Sumatra and 2,500+ west of Australia.
” They are available in all sizes and shapes, with light organs, lures, rays customized into tripods or camouflage appendages, and substantial (or missing out on) eyes. Each types wonderfully adjusted to the severe deep-sea environments,” researcher Tim O’Hara of the Museums Victoria Research study Institute informed Live Science.
