Humpty Posted July 8, 2007 Share Posted July 8, 2007 Seems our beautiful Earth has still got some surprises in store for us. It's a squid, it's an octopus, it's ... a mystery from the deep. What appears to be a half-squid, half-octopus specimen found off Keahole Point on the Big Island remains unidentified today and could possibly be a new species, said local biologists. The specimen was found caught in a filter in one of Natural Energy Laboratory of Hawaii Authority's deep-sea water pipelines last week. The pipeline, which runs 3,000 feet deep, sucks up cold, deep-sea water for the tenants of the natural energy lab. "When we first saw it, I was really delighted because it was new and alive," said Jan War, operations manager at NELHA. "I've never seen anything like that."

illithid8 Posted July 9, 2007 Share Posted July 9, 2007 Seems our beautiful Earth has still got some surprises in store for us. Most definitely! Up to 300 species of insects are discovered a week! This "octosquid" is quite an amazing creature... Probably a hybrid or something, the result of two blind parents Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
