A giant creature measuring over 100 meters long has just been discovered, far surpassing the blue whale – the largest animal on earth. This has left scientists amazed because no creature has ever been this long. You will be surprised to know what it is.
When it comes to the longest creature in the world, many people’s first impression is the blue whale, which is the largest living creature in the world and also the lord of the ocean. The 30-meter long blue whale is naturally pushed into the discussion of the longest creature.
Some marine life enthusiasts also say that it is a giant octopus, the length of the octopus’s tentacles can reach an astonishing 60 meters, of course it also deserves to be nominated as the longest creature. It is also mentioned that there must be creatures in the ocean that are longer than these two species.
After all, deep sea creatures have many possibilities, maybe one day humans will find a fish longer than the blue whale, or other creatures, these things are all possible.
However, in the field of natural science, facts are always better than theories. In the fields that human science has explored, whether it is a blue whale or an octopus, its body length is nothing compared to deep-sea creatures.
The story also begins with an expedition by scientists to the bottom of the sea. Not long ago, scientists from the Schmidt Ocean Institute discovered a strange creature in the waters off the southern coast of Australia.
At that time, scientists piloted a scientific research vessel above the sea surface of the Ningaloo Canyon in Australia, and researchers operated a remotely operated unmanned submersible to conduct surveys and explorations in the deep-sea canyon.
During the process, they accidentally discovered a giant creature, which scientists initially thought was a blue whale, but according to data sent back by the testing device, the size of this creature was very different from that of a blue whale.
This result immediately aroused the interest of scientists. Random experts performed a 1:1 reconstruction based on the returned data and as a result they made an amazing discovery.
It also created a breakthrough in their research. So what exactly are these creatures that scientists have discovered at the bottom of the sea? And how did this creature excite scientists?
About body length
According to experts, when they discovered this creature, the whole group thought it was just a normal whale. It was not until scientists compared and analyzed the data sent back that they realized this creature was not a fish.
This creature forms many concentric rings from the inside out, slowly wriggling on the seabed. According to experts, this creature must be a type of stinging jellyfish.
Siphon jellyfish are groups of many individuals, so they are often very large. The mass of the tube jellyfish discovered by experts in the Western Australian sea canyon even exceeds the record of the largest known to mankind.
This type of jellyfish is relatively rare, and researchers believe that such a large tube jellyfish could be hundreds of years old. However, some believe that such a long tube jellyfish is not one but many, and that the creatures may form a mass symbiotic relationship similar to corals.
