Deep-Sea Creatures Captured Alive And Studied

techmaven writes: "A recent article on the NewsFactor network, 'Scientists Bring 'Em Back Alive from Ocean Depths,' reports that scientists at the University of California, Santa Barbara were able to capture and bring back alive from the bottom of the ocean, several deep-sea creatures rarely seen by humans, much less studied. The creatures may provide answers to how animals can survive in a cold, dark, gaseous environment."

I'm still amazed

Unusual creatures rock my boat.

Seems the deep has got a ton of stuff that we've barely scratched the surface of.

Ever stop to think how little we know about our own planet?

I am still amazed by the jellyfish-like squid they caught on tape a few months back.

It would be really cool if they could bring back some giant squid while they were at it.

So how long until we can take 'tours' of the deep without getting wet?
