A fascinating sea creature captured by underwater cameras during deep-sea drilling reportedly near Brazil has evoked wild debate on the web. The most popular assumption so far is that the animal is a unique deep-sea jellyfish.
At first glance, the so-called “Cascade Creature” looks like a piece of a dirty mold-covered plastic bag drifting by the camera. It moves so swiftly that the operator cannot properly follow it into the depths of the water. But then it returns and poses right in front of the camera for several minutes, exposing its strikingly unusual body from every side.
