Do Not Mess With Fish 80!

and you thought fish were fun! well not if you had to dive thousands of feet deep to see this one, in 210 expeditions undertaken to explore the deep ocean for the international Census of Marine Life, some 17,000 new species were discovered, an expedition to the mid-Atlantic ridge this year by Russia, Brazil, South Africa and Uruguay, discovered what is thought to be a new species related to the octopus, nicknamed the “Jumbo Dumbo” for its passing resemblance to the fictional flying elephant,
more than 300 scientists from 34 nations have crammed themselves into deep-diving submersibles or piloted robots from research vessels, just think about this 17,000 new species we did not know a thing about on our own plant, amazing!
