| Description: |
Living 1,000 meters under water off the coast of California, are communities of tiny critters that burrow in the sediments of the seafloor with their feeding appendages poking out into the water column, their entire life cycle dependent on the quantity of marine detritus or "snow" that settles to the bottom. The local communities seem to establish themselves based on average snowfall, with their young doing the same. [Source: Discovery News]
