    Looks like it passed out at a party and it’s friends got out the sharpies

    Remember that story that some egghead science person decided to look closely at their own back yard and discovered a bunch of new species?

    This reminds me of that. We’d assume that it’s more rare to find some unknown animals in the sea than it is to find some unknown animals in your suburban backyard. Or at least I would think that’s a natural way to think. But it’s really not that different. If you walk through your backyard, you might step on an animal that is rarer than the chirodectes maculatus.

    The same thing happened on land until we murdered everything.

      Don’t worry; we’re swiftly catching up in the oceans as we speak.

    If there’s complex life on one of the ice shell moons like Titan or Enceladus, it’ll be way weirder than anything in the ocean could ever be.

      Are you a John Michael Godier fan by any chance?

        Good guess! I suppose my comment reads like a verbatim quote from one of his videos.

    There’s a pretty cool video about it here:

    theguardian.com/…/magnificent-jellyfish-found-off… (YouTube link: youtu.be/tpaGYqE7dPA)

    AFAICT, it’s the second sighting of this jellyfish.

    The original video is on Facebook 🤮: www.facebook.com/watch/?v=253522076865770
