Random person: Is there anything BIG left to discover in the oceans? I feel like we know it all.
Ocean: Here's a 60 foot long jet-powered pyrosome that can light up so brightly it outshines the moon and oh by the way YOU KNOW NOTHING

We’re likely to find more beaked whales. No one has found Marvin, a big screw shaped colonial invertebrate filmed off a Shell oil rig in the sixties. we’ve not found all the sharks. Coolest, submersible pilots in 1968 saw, at 4000 feet, a 30-foot fish that was not a shark.

I demand pictures/link to all of these fascinating things! (googled "Marvin" and had no luck)
-
Soon as I get my computer up today, promise

Check out this paper about their smaller pals, looks like when they're abundant their poo could take a bunch of carbon out of the surface ocean. The importance of
#poo strikes again ;) https://agupubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1029/2018JG004918 … -

Um...where did you say?!? -
well, we're not quite sure. But this was filmed in the southern hemisphere for what it's worth. :D
-
Thank you!
I was just making sure it would not be appearing at a beach near me. ie; Edisto Beach, SC!?! -
Pretty sure you'd do far more damage to it than it to you.

Why are they touching it
-
Human nature. "Hey look, something that looks fragile or could be potentially dangerous...I wanna touch it"
-
Thats basically the plot of every alien life based movie. We never learn.

see the weird part to me is that scientists describe pyrosomes like these as "sock-shaped" Does that look like a fucking sock. Do your socks like a fricking pyrosome??
-
Looks like a sock to me.
-
To be fair, my socks aren’t 60 foot long so it doesn’t look like my socks.
-
Mine are.
