If we saw that in space imagine, everyone would go crazy. It’s crazy how much we havent discovered on our own planet.

"We'll just take a sample."
*Sucks entire jellyfish in*
*SHLORP*

Probably the most poisonous creature in the sea (or a plastic bag has evolved into a new life form).

If I would name it, I'll name it "Tooth Jelly" 🦷.

Imagine we just discovered the baby and the mom is literally the sea floor..

"Never seen a ctenophore like that before". The rhyme lol

It’s kinda shaped like a thanksgiving turkey. Let’s officially call it “turkey balloon”.

[brendanhsm]

do you ever feel like ctenophore, drifting through the sea, wanting to start again?

[KingofKings]

Those tentacles are gonna start lookin like legs in a few hundred thousand years lol

[DevSarman]

Forget finding aliens in space, we already have plenty of those in deep waters and trenches

[nikolairin]

2:53 And that's exactly how aliens abduct people

[zylnexxd]

Our ocean has a lot of unknown creatures that are the equivalent of Aliens

Makes me wonder how many times aliens may have taken samples of human beings.

[RickestRick]

The fact that they waited so long to tell us.

[sandwichanomaly]

We’re gonna need a comment that explains why it took so long to identify that this is a new discovered.

[kamalaharry]

And so I told the scientist. " That's no ctenophore, THAT'S MY WIFE 🤣"

[iluismadrid]

I find it hilarious that humans think they know space and the life of the stars when we don't even fully know our planet.

[janettcastillo]

it’s kind of sad how we get excited when we discover new animals but do nothing to protect the ones that are going and have gone extinct.

[everydaylively]

When they said the deep discoverer didn't have equipment to take a sample at that time, I honestly feel relieved.
