Like a scene from Novel by Jules VerneRecently, scientists from the Schmidt Ocean Institute encountered giant ghost jelly (Giant stygomedusa). Huge deep-sea the jellyfish was spotted at an altitude of about 830 feet below the surface Pacific Ocean using a remotely operated vehicle (ROV) exploring the wall of the Colorado Rawson submarine canyon off the coast of Argentina.
During dive for winter holidaysThe team explored the wall of an underwater canyon and encountered a creature also called a giant ghost jelly. This is a very rare find, only approx. 118 observations over 110 years. It is believed to be widespread throughout the world's oceans, with the exception of the Arctic Ocean. Giant ghost jellyfish have four long oral hands it doesn't sting like tentacles It’s the same on other jellyfish. Instead, they use these appendages to grab prey and guide it towards their mouth.
They can reach lengths of 3.3 feet across and 33 feet in length, according to the Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute (MBARI) in California. ROV MBARI Tiburon noticed earlier a fish swims next to a giant ghost jelly during an expedition to the Gulf of California. The team watched as the fish hovered over the jellyfish's bulbous body, swimming in and out of its arms. Because the waters of the ocean Midnight Zone (3,300 to 13,100 feet) offer no shelter, many creatures take refuge in the gelatinous animals such as jellyfish that live here.
