Melvin Mosley+FollowGlow-in-the-dark shark? Deep-sea finds are wildDid you know scientists just found a tiny shark that literally glows in the dark? On a deep-sea trip off Australia, researchers discovered the West Australian lantern shark and two new porcelain crab species. They’re still sorting through hundreds more possible new species from the same expedition! These discoveries help us understand how ocean life is coping with climate change. Who else wants to see a glowing shark IRL? #Science #DeepSeaDiscovery #MarineLife10Share
Richard Vaughan+FollowDeep-Sea Mining Uncovers Wild New SpeciesImagine sending a mining robot 13,000 feet underwater and stumbling on a whole bunch of never-before-seen creatures! That’s what just happened in the Pacific. Scientists found tons of new species, but also saw a 30% drop in biodiversity where the mining machine rolled through. It’s a reminder that we barely know what’s down there—and we need to be super careful before we start scooping up metals from the ocean floor. #Science #DeepSeaDiscovery #Biodiversity94Share
