The fisherman caught a shrimp that looked like an alien creature, and when he heard the expert's analysis, his face immediately turned pale

What is this strange creature?

One day in August 2017, in the waters of Scotland, a fisherman went out to fish very early. He carefully retrieved the net he had released yesterday when he suddenly stopped. At this time, the fisherman saw many crustaceans in the net, so he became extremely curious.

The fisherman looked closer and discovered that these animals looked similar to alien creatures. Therefore, he decided to bring them back and take them to the Marine Biological Research Center to have them examined by experts.

Experts observed and found that this shrimp-like object was 28 cm long. It has pale pink skin. Experts point out that these animals have hook-like organs that can hook into the human body and suck blood. In addition, this species needs to be examined in detail to see if it is edible or not, because many new species carry a lot of viruses . They can cause infectious diseases. It can also cause life-threatening poisoning.

After hearing what the experts said, the fisherman's face turned pale with fear. He had been fishing for many years and had never seen such a creature before.

Ultimately, they thought this was a new species of crustacean. Accordingly, the creatures that the fishermen found were temporarily called 'Supergiant' crustaceans by the group of experts , belonging to the group of amphipods, found at about about 7,000m deep in the Kermadec Trench, northern waters of New Zealand.

They are about 3 cm long and often swim out of the trench to search for food, a process that only lasts a few minutes. But experts say this is the first time they have seen such a large amphipod.

Researcher Alan Jamieson, Marine Laboratory at Aberdeen University, expressed surprise: "This creature exists on Earth? I never thought this crustacean could be so big! ".

Their appearance is quite similar to the crustaceans that were found off the coast of Hawaii, USA in the 1980s. This species can also be found in Antarctic waters, but they grow to only a body length. about 10cm.
