A rare sea creature, only ever caught on tape in the Gulf of Mexico, has now been filmed for the first time in the Southern Ocean off east Antarctica.
The creature is dubbed a “headless chicken monster,” otherwise known as a deep-sea swimming cucumber or it's scientific name Enypniastes eximia had previously only been captured on camera swimming in the Gulf of Mexico before this new footage was released.
The Australian government’s Antarctic division for commercial long-line fishing captured the exotic animal via their underwater camera operation.
“Some of the footage we are getting back from the cameras is breathtaking, including species we have never seen in this part of the world,” Australian Antarctic division program leader Dr. Dirk Welsford said.
“Most importantly, the cameras are providing important information about areas of seafloor that can withstand this type of fishing and sensitive areas that should be avoided,” he added.
The footage and data that has been collected is set to be presented at the annual meeting of the Commission for the Conservation of Antarctic Marine Living Resources in Hobart, Australia.
According to the group’s website, the commission was “established by international convention in 1982 with the objective of conserving Antarctic marine life.”
Over the next 10 days the commission will look at the best ways to respond to climate change.
