"Bizarre Transparent Crustacean with Enormous Eyes Found near the Bahamas"
Scientists in the Bahamas have discovered a new species of deep-sea crustacean, named Booralana nickorum, with a see-through body and giant eyes, using LED lights and glow sticks. This ancient species, which has been on the planet for 300 million years, plays a crucial role in maintaining ecosystem health by speeding up decomposition and capturing carbon in the deep ocean. The discovery helps researchers understand the distribution of deep-sea animals and the potential impact of human activities like deep-sea oil exploration on precious ecosystems.
