| This is One of the example of Marrus Orthocanna. |
Like a multistage rocket, this bizarre
microscopic creature, Marrus
orthocanna is made up of
multiple repeated units, including tentacles and multiple stomachs. Never heard
of a physonect siphonophore? That's what this is. It's something like a
jellyfish, and is more closely related to the Portugese man o' war. That’s not
it, here comes the biggest fact that also shocked me. Pioneerunion.com - stated
that “The Deep Sea Siphonophore are long creatures. They can get as long as 50
meters.
The majority of them, are long and thin, and they consist of mostly
gelatinous material.” This creature can be found in the Arctic Ocean, northwest
Pacific Ocean, Bering Sea, Sea of Okhotsk, North Atlantic Ocean, and
Mediterranean Sea at depths of 200 to 800 m (660 to 2600 ft) – Aquariumofpacific.org
