New Deep #Sea Creatures ‘Challenge Current Models of Life’
#Scientists have discovered #chemosynthetic #animals, which don’t rely on Sun to live, nearly 6mi under the #ocean surface—deeper than any found to date.
Chemicals like #methane and #hydrogensulfide leak out of so-called “seeps” in these active zones, which can be metabolized by chemosynthetic microbes that form the basis of diverse #ecosystems that live completely off the bio-solar grid.
