NOAA Live Video Streams Reveal Secrets Of Mariana Trench

A new jellyfish species, the hydromedusa jellyfish, glides through the deepest ocean trench with its two sets of short and long tentacles. Whenever it spots an unsuspecting prey and moves in for the kill, it keeps its long tentacles extended outward, its bell quite motionless.
This interesting creature is just one of the fascinating findings of a team from the National Ocean and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), whose live video streams document the wild, wonderful, and largely unexplored deep waters of the world.
The NOAA team is currently conducting research on the geology and deep-sea ecosystems found at the Mariana Archipelago, with a towering goal of exploring the 1,500-mile long, 43-mile wide Mariana Trench.
The trench’s depth is not one to be ignored: even if Mt. Everest were to be shoved down this trench, its peak would still be over a mile underwater.

We are nasty primates littering, polluting, and destroying habitats.
