The ocean is a storehouse of wonders. Despite the advancement of technology, man has not been able to discover even half of the secrets hidden in the ocean. There are still thousands of species left in the ocean that man has yet to discover or know about. American scientists have released the news that they have found one such thing. The creature with a relatively small blue body was found in the Caribbean Sea.
Researchers at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration are behind the discovery. The strange creature came to the attention of the researchers while conducting an expedition at a depth of 1400 feet from the sea surface. The strange creature looks similar to the character Bob from the animated film Monsters vs. Aliens. Researchers have also released footage of the creature. The creature was found without limbs. The creature, which appears to have a lumpy body, does not have a definite face or body structure. The entire body appears to be covered with small bumps. Researchers say that they have seen such creatures on the ocean floor more than once during the expedition. More information about the organism can only be obtained by collecting samples.
From observing the organism, the researchers concluded that it can expand and contract its body on its own. The creatures were found lying close to the ocean floor. Experts who study sea sponges and corals may also need help to accurately identify the creature, the researchers say. The pictures of the strange creature released by the researchers have already gained attention on social media. The researchers conduct the expedition to study the ocean floor, geological features and marine life of the mid-Atlantic region. Research is to learn more about areas that have not been studied till date.
