There is information that researchers have stumbled upon a unique cluster of previously unknown animal species...
It’s true.
A group of scientists from the National Institute of Water and Atmospheric Research of New Zealand (NIWA) collected about 1,800 samples of living organisms at depths of up to 4,800 meters during an expedition in the Bounty Trench, located off the eastern coast of the South Island. At least 100 new marine species have been identified in this previously unexplored deep-sea canyon! Analysis of the collected samples is currently underway. However, researchers have already reported the discovery of new species of mollusks, fish, shrimp, and corals.
BY THE WAY
Scientists have observed a gray whale in the western Atlantic Ocean for the first time in the last 200 years. It was previously believed that gray whales in this region had been completely exterminated.
