Images: Cameron's Dive to Earth's Deepest Spot.Deep-Sea Creepy Crawlies: Images of Acorn Worms.For instance, the Five Deeps explorers also captured a video of a strange gelatinous creature that looks like a balloon on a string, Live Science previously reported. The Indian Ocean is teeming with both familiar creatures such as starfish and sea cucumbers as well as unfamiliar ones. So, it will need some smart biochemistry to make sure it retains that sphere," he said. If you imagine a cell is like a balloon - it's going to want to collapse under pressure. "They'd have to do something clever inside their cells. and the CEO of Armatus Oceanic, a deep-sea consultancy, told the BBC. To live at such depths, these creatures' bodies would need to have somehow adapted to the extreme pressure of the deep sea, the chief scientist on the expedition, Alan Jamieson, who is also a senior lecturer at Newcastle University in the U.K. But because both octopuses were observed in the same area, it's difficult to know whether such octopuses live this deep globally or if this was "the result of chance encounter with an abnormally deep population," the authors wrote. The hadal zone is the deepest part of the ocean - typically deeper than 3.73 miles (6,000 m). These observations "unequivocally" identify cirrate octopuses as members of the hadal community, the authors wrote in the paper.
Dumbo octopuses are "cirrate" octopuses, meaning they have protrusions coming off their suckers called cirri, which have an unknown function, according to National Geographic.
