Discovered 'shrimp monsters' at a depth of 7000m under the sea

Scientists have captured a 'super-large' crustacean at a depth of 7km off New Zealand, 10 times larger than regular seabirds.

>>>Shrimp species can live in hot water of 450 degrees Celsius

This 'shrimp monster' species was found on a northern trench expedition of Kermadec in New Zealand waters, made by scientists from Aberdeen University and Wellington NIWA Research Institute.

Marine beetles ( Amphipods ) are usually only 3cm long, but Aberdeen University expert Alan Jamieson said he was surprised to see a 28cm long beetle slip into the trap. .

"I stopped and thought" what is happening on earth like this " ? " Mr. Jamieson said. "It's like when you see a long-legged cockroach".

Another amphipod was filmed by scientists, but they did not catch it. This afternoon this one even estimates up to 34cm, as big as a lobster.

Scientist Ashley Rowden said catching such strange crustaceans proves that we know too little about the lives of deepwater creatures in New Zealand.

Previously, the largest amphipod was found in the 1980s off Hawaii, up to 7,000km north of New Zealand. Therefore, NIWA has not yet confirmed that a new crustacean is a completely new species.

Scientists have not yet explained why deep-sea creatures are so large in size.
