Scientists discover 100 new maritime species off New Zealand | DW News

Biologists in New Zealand have found around 100 new species after exploring a rift some 5 kilometers beneath the sea. The organisms include some that scientists can't even identify, as well as a strange creature called a 'sea-pig'.

Crazy how it's like the ocean got a surprise update patch

[mep.stance]

Discovered just in time for them to be soon classified as extinct

[yolomaster]

The korean mukbangs are gonna go crazy

[whateverandapathy]

Scientists: We got this new thing from the ocean.

Me every time without fail: Put it back.

That "sea pig" and that "eel" look like they went through the same thing the "blobfish" went through.

1:38, i can tell that the fish exploded itself like blobfish collapse into a squishy mush when they are pulled up to the surface.

0:50 they found a underwater digimon, that's crazy

[ballinforjesus]

This world record of hide and seek will never be broken

[AndyQuezadilla]

1:42 I don’t like how he chucked it instead of gently placing it down

[JoelLinus]

Bro that jello in the thumbnail looks like a headcrab

[mattharrison]

Love it when they describe the thing they filmed instead of just showing the thing they filmed

[davidestevezv]

scientists found headcrabs, so half-life is canon

[nescaufe]

“We've even got, at least, one creature which we’re not really sure what it is”
_Proceeds to not show it_

[whacklp]

I was actually extremely surprised that the thumbnail was not clickbait

[TJtheLeviathan]

bro this is unbelievable, they found an actual plumbus in the ocean

[TeaLurker]

That's why I love how there are still tons of things we have yet to discover.

[williamhornabrook]

Must be amazing for scientist to see so many new species so quickly. There must be an absurd number of undiscovered species down there.

[santogo]

A lot of the ocean is still unexplored after all, I'm always curious to see findings like these

[Sinaunangpanahon]

They should also include information about the damage deep-sea mining could cause to these new squishy marine animals

[oakleysimon]

Wouldn’t bringing to the surface an organism that is used to living with 5km worth of water the pressure likely to kill it?
