FfFfFfFF 58,846 Posted December 24, 2021 Share Posted December 24, 2021 A deepwater robot, humming through the twilight zone of Monterey Bay, has managed to capture incredibly rare video footage of a giant phantom jelly. In 34 years of conducting deep sea studies, the Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute (MBARI) has sent out remotely operated vehicles (ROVs) to the deep sea on thousands of occasions, and yet this is only the ninth time they've stumbled upon this cagey crimson creature. The giant phantom jelly was first discovered in 1899, and even though the species is thought to swim in oceans all over the world, bar the Arctic, by 2009 the creature had only been officially spotted 110 times in 110 years.
