omg did u no they just caught a fish @ 8k+m in japan trench? that's even deeper than the previous record by like 6k feet! i'm lowkey obsessed with these snailfish tho - tiny eyes & translucent body make 'em perfect for lurking in the dark depths they gotta be eating so much snot or something lol, i mean, who needs light when u got a swim bladder that doesn't float? anyway, tech costs $200k, but i guess it's worth it 4 dis kinda groundbreaking discovery
just think about it, we're still discoverin new species down there in the dark depths, and we're also spendin 200k dollars to do it... like, what's next? Gonna send a team to Mars for 500k?
I mean, can you even imagine being in that deep? Like, over 27k feet?! Mind-blowing right? But seriously, it's crazy to think about how much we still don't know about our oceans and the creatures living in them. And those snailfish, wow! They're like the ultimate survivors, with their tiny eyes and translucent bodies. I love that they've got this special trick where they can conserve energy by not having a swim bladder โ genius, right? The tech used for this expedition is insane too, $200k for each lander is a lot of cash, but it's all worth it for the groundbreaking discoveries like this one. Can't wait to see what other secrets our oceans hold!
