More than 6,000 meters down in the pitch-black deep sea, scientists found strange new creatures, including a record-breaking mollusk and a clam that actually hunts and eats other tiny animals.
Most clams filter tiny food particles from water, but scientists found a rare carnivorous bivalve deep in the ocean that actually hunts and eats other small animals, an unusual predatory lifestyle for this group.
A flying clam and glowing pink clam aren't described here; the truly remarkable trait was specifically its meat-eating habit, not flight or glow.
This clam was found alongside thirteen other brand-new species over 6,000 meters down, showing how much undiscovered life may hide in the deep ocean.
