RE: TIL About Pelagothuria natatrix

in STEMGeeks11 months ago

As far as I know, Pelagothuria natatrix is a species of deep-sea cucumber, a type of marine invertebrate. These organisms are often found in the abyssal depths of the ocean, where they live in extreme conditions. Pelagothuria natatrix is known for its unique appearance, resembling a translucent, gelatinous blob with a complex network of branching structures. At first, I thought it was a type of jellyfish. The name "Pelagothuria" is derived from the Greek words "pelagos," meaning deep sea, and "thuria," meaning a small, enclosed space. "Natatrix" is Latin for swimmer, and it refers to the creature's ability to move through the water by undulating its body.
