| Description: |
Several species of previously unknown marine animals have been discovered thriving in one of the strangest habitats on Earth - next to hydrothermal vents on the ocean floor near Antarctica, in an environment that is too hot, too dark, and too toxic to support most other sea life. Researchers who made the discovery say the newly-found species include predator sea stars, yeti crabs, fields of stalked barnacles, sea anemones, and a very pale octopus.[Source: Voice of America]
