Perhaps this will be the most exotic squid you’ve ever seen, because their appearance is like a paperclip.
What is the strangest animal you’ve ever seen? Maybe it is a North American star-nosed mole with 21 tentacles on its nose and red like a starfish, or a fish on the deep sea floor of Australia, when put on the water it becomes Exotic shape like a pile of fat with a sad face.
The star-nosed mole is a species of small mole found in the humid regions of eastern Canada and the northeastern United States, with records along the Atlantic coast as far south-east as Georgia. It is the only member of the genus Condylurini and genus Condylura. Blobfish (also known as water drop fish) – a fish voted by the Ugly Animal Preservation Society … the standard of evil. This fish was first found in the waters of New Zealand and Australia, at depths from 600 to 1,200 meters. These are also locations where the pressure is about 118 times higher than sea level. If you ever saw a new species of cephalopods discovered by scientists recently, perhaps all the strange things in this world would be very normal, and not surprising. , because this creature is considered the most exotic. Essentially it looks like an oversized paperclip or a bunch of long “antennae” on the head, they have curved bodies with twisted lines. This animal is called Diplomoceras maximum. It’s a pity that no matter where you live in any zoo on the planet or ride a diving boat to explore the deep sea, you will not be able to see this animal, as it is just like Tyrannosaurus. This animal lived in Antarctica during the Cretaceous period 68 million years ago and what we can see today is only their fossil. The date of the fossils is about 68 million years, the late Cretaceous period, the same time the dinosaurs. This strange squid mainly inhabits the waters around present-day Antarctica. They may have gone extinct at the same time as the dinosaurs because of the catastrophic impact of the asteroid Chicxulub. This bizarre squid fossil was discovered by the Antarctic Expedition at the University of Leeds, UK. Scientists conducted a scientific investigation on the island of Seymour in the Antarctic peninsula for 6 years and discovered more than 6,000 fossils of marine life. The most special of these is Diplomoceras maximum squid. The fossils of paperclip are currently on display to the public at the Earth Museum in Ithaca, New York, if you were lucky enough to be seen, you wouldn’t be able to imagine why this creature grew like that. – it is about 1.5 meters long and can be up to 2 meters long, which is equivalent to human height; if its paperclip-shaped body was stretched out in a straight line, their body length would exceed 4 meters. Their assumption is consistent because the shell is known to grow by accretion, creating new growth each year. After shrinking the giant crust of these 1.5-meter-long animals, the researchers concluded that the only plausible explanation was that these animals had a lifespan of about 200 years. In addition, what surprised scientists the most was that the paperclip squids had a lifespan of up to 200 years, speculation now calculated from the edges on their shell, which is similar to the method. Calculate the age from the trunk lines. Their shells are developed through accretion, and based on the repetitive characteristics of carbon and oxygen isotopes, scientists believe this reflects the annual production of methane on the seabed. This means that the paperclip ink’s cover will grow one more groove each year, and it will grow longer and longer. And the question is why this squid is able to live so long, while modern cephalopods, such as cuttlefish and squid, live less than 5 years even if they are the largest of this family or the cobra is also a shellfish, which can only live up to 20 years. So paperclip ink can live to 200 years old is completely strange and mysterious. New research published at an online meeting of the American Geological Association claims the discovery of new evidence suggesting a very long lifespan has never been known before. To answer this question, paleontologists have come up with a temporary hypothesis – they suggest that their habitat at that time was similar to that of the Greenland sharks, which lived in cold seas. Antarctica’s prices, which have long and dark winters, lack food sources, so they have to slow down their metabolism to increase their chances of reproducing successfully, so their lifespans are also increased.
