Tubeworms, Snails and Other Weird Creatures Found Under Seafloor

WION News

Researchers have discovered a fascinating array of unusual creatures, including tubeworms and snails, thriving beneath the seafloor. These organisms inhabit extreme environments, such as hydrothermal vents and cold seeps, where they have adapted to survive in high-pressure, low-light conditions. The findings reveal insights into the diverse ecosystems that exist in the deep ocean and highlight the complex relationships between these species and their environments. This research not only expands our understanding of marine biology but also raises questions about the potential for life in extreme conditions elsewhere in the universe.
