Extraordinary New Sponge Species Discovered


Still Waters

Recommended Posts

A team of scientists led by Dr Lonny Lundsten of the Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute (MBARI) in Moss Landing, California, has discovered an extraordinary new species of carnivorous sponge.

The new species is named the harp sponge, or Chondrocladia lyra, because its basic structure is shaped like a lyre or harp.

I was really hoping to see a man cross legged on the ocean floor eating a sponge. ;)

My disappointment was replaced by amazement when I took a look at the killer-sponge. Now I can't stop imagining a Jaws like film...

Sponge its not safe to go back into the water
