Many New Species Found Under Antarctica

gt_mattex writes to tell us The Globe and Mail is reporting that quite a few new species have been found in the ocean beneath the Antarctic ice. From the article: "It is too early to say exactly how many new species were discovered in the Antarctic, many in the Weddell Sea, where ice crushed the ship of Antarctic explorer Ernest Shackleton in 1915. The scientists saw more strange creatures than familiar ones, says Ron O'Dor, an expert in octopuses and squid from Halifax's Dalhousie University and the chief scientist in charge of producing the first marine life census of the planet by 2010."

Could they be harmful?

I hope the researchers will not bring these creature near to any [human] civilization. You see, they could potentially be harmful to us.

I know my call will not be heeded for researchers are inquisitive by nature.

In case it is verified that a human being was harmed by these creatures, we should sue the researchers and those that support them, just like the US does to terrorists and their backers.
