National Geographic has
listed some of the most surprising sea animals discovered in 2006. The
species, dubbed Promachoteuthis sloani, was caught along with
around 50 other types of squid during trawls as deep as 3 kilometers
(1.2 miles) by a Census of Marine Life team. This previously
unknown squid was among 80,000 deep-sea organisms collected from the
northern Mid-Atlantic Ridge, a chain of undersea mountains halfway between
Europe and North America. (Source: CRIonline)
