(SCIENCE ALERT) – 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 fantastic new footage managed to explore the giant phantom jelly (Stygiomedusa gigantea) from three different perspectives.
