Still Waters Posted May 28, 2016 #1 Share Posted May 28, 2016 Scientists on a deep-sea expedition in the waters off Hawaii have discovered what they say is the world’s largest known sponge. The creature, roughly the size of a minivan, was discovered about 2,100m (7,000ft) down in a marine conservation area off the shores of the north-western Hawaiian -islands. The rare sponge, with a bluish-white colour and brain-like appearance, stunned scientists when it appeared in the remote cameras attached to their underwater rover. http://www.theguardian.com/environment/2016/may/28/sea-sponge-the-size-of-a-minivan-discovered-in-ocean-depths-off-hawaii 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
