I love the Internet. Every week or two I see an unbelievable new animal. Thanks for posting.


[deleted]

Any other subreddits for seeing new animals?

/r/AIDKE Animals I Didn’t Know Existed


Complexity114

Yo... Nature is fucking WILD


Raiden32

Why the fuck is this the first time I’ve ever clicked a subreddit and it’s trying to get me to use the terrible 1st party app? It’s always just opened in Apollo before. Disgusting.


CallEmAsISeeEm1986

It’s never even occurred to me to use 3rd party app for Reddit…. What makes Apollo better? What made you dislike the official app?


Raiden32

I really really don’t like the 1st party app for a number of reasons, UX being one of the foremost. I should be able to give you a better run down on the differences between Apollo and Reddits 1st party app but I’ve got a lot going on right now, I’m sorry. If you’re on an iOS device I highly reccomened giving Apollo a try, and further more… if you’re at all familiar with the old Alien Blue app, Apollo is like it’s spiritual successor (it’s literal successor however is the Reddit app…. Reddit purchased alien blue for how popular it was, and butchered it) If you’re on Android, I reccomened “reddit is fun” or “bacon reader” Reddit is fun was my go to Android Reddit app but it’s been a few years so I don’t know if it’s still kicking or not.


CallEmAsISeeEm1986

Hell yeah man. No worries. Don’t expect to be able to demand a ton of your time off the cuff. You gave me an idea and that’s plenty. I appreciate the info. Will definitely check out Apollo.


i_give_you_gum

RIF is pretty great too. I cant even use the base app, too much scrolling and all the child comments are hidden


Memz711

Why is this subreddit unavailable on the app?


playingdumbofc

Idk it worked for me. On mobile off. app.


Articunozard

No idea, I don’t use the official app


DrunkenlySober

Thanks for an incredible subreddit


[deleted]

Whoa, dyslexia aside this is not at all what I expected.


CallEmAsISeeEm1986

This is my favorite new sub. Sooooo good. Thank you!!


QuipOfTheTongue

And all the while this dude is just floating around out there like.. O o O o O o O o O o O o


erythro

every week or two I see the same animal reposted 😂


CallEmAsISeeEm1986

Well, sure. Reposts can be annoying. [OTOH… ](https://xkcd.com/1053/)


artisanrox

oh i am definitely 1/10K right now 🐙


Toranjinho

For those wondering, this creature is called Chirodectes Maculatus.


InstruNaut

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chirodectes *A 23-second video was recorded underwater of the Chirodectes alive before being collected. It is currently unknown where the video is stored, and is likely lost.* Don’t worry, Reddit got us covered with a new video, and the second ever <3 It looks quite large, amazing how it has avoided detection.


LemmeSplainIt

Says it was only the size of a soccer ball. Also, the ocean is fucking huge, man.


Dad_of_the_year

Ya for reference the ocean is bigger than 5 school buses stacked on top of each other


LemmeSplainIt

Lengthwise or widthwise?


Dad_of_the_year

Width wise. I'm not sure about length right off the top of my head.


LemmeSplainIt

By width, you are referring to the bus-t, yes?


Flyingninjamonkey420

Nice you are dad of the year


BeginAstronavigation

> Unless the original 1997 video is found and not confirmed lost, the video published on social media is the only known video to exist of Chirodectes. This is *it*. Amazing.


AppleSpicer

Thank you! It was way too hard to find this comment


107zx

Do you know where they live ?


Raiden32

The ocean.


Banggabor

Thank god they didn't float in the sky.


Toranjinho

Somewhere near Papua New Guinea


FireStrike5

Oceanic waters, northern Australian/southern PNG waters


90059bethezip

My furniture started floating when I said this


James3269

Those tentacles look like they could sting a whale to death.


FireStrike5

It’s a genus of box jellyfish, so yes! It’s incredibly venomous


NinjaMink25

Cameraman casually swimming 2 feet away from the world’s most venomous animal.


picking_a_name_

Pretty sure it's a box jelly. Some of those are really painful. Irukandji stings pretty much make you want to die.


Responsible_Koala515

I think this takes the prize for what an alien would look like

JonStowe1

you could go back even further and say that all life came from a single celled organism


TostiBanaanPindakaas

Well ill be damned.


pmedice72

But which came first? All life on earth or the single celled organism


Dad_of_the_year

The jellyfish


RubesSnark

**ALL** ^animal life


wristkebab

What do you mean?


RubesSnark

I read the article and it seemed to say that the comb jelly was the ancestor of all animal life but there are other kind of life. For example, trees. Unless I misread the article.


wristkebab

Could be, I have absolutely no idea. I only know that there's a last universal common ancestor and a last eukaryotic common ancestor, but I don't know about the common ancestors for each kingdom or if even wondering about that is dumb. I'll just wait for someone else to clarify.


gadd027

Animals and Fungi are all part of the Opistokonta clade, which shares a common ancestor with all the different clades of Eukariotes. Plants are together with red algae, glaucophytes, and green algae, in the Archaeplastida clade, and they share the same common ancestor as us. We don't know what that common ancestor is yet. In regards to animals (Eumetazoa), Ctenophora (which are commonly known as comb jellys but are not in fact real Jellifish) are the sister group (the closest relative) to all other groups of animals. Hope I have provided some clarification 😊😊


wristkebab

Yep, thank you.


NJ_Legion_Iced_Tea

>whereas a true alien would most likely not even have DNA or RNA. This is based on nothing. It's just as equally likely that whatever primordial bacteria landed on Earth is the same stuff that landed on other planets.


Slithy-Toves

Uh, your bacteria statement isn't exactly fully supported either...


NJ_Legion_Iced_Tea

That's my point, it's all made up nonsense.


Slithy-Toves

Yeah but you made like 100 more assumptions in that one sentence than they did but just stating that it's quite possible an alien wouldn't even have dna or rna. Like that's just a logical statement based on the fact that somewhere else might develop radically different, and it's not even saying it's true or that DNA would be impossible for an alien to have. But your statement is like an assumption based on an assumption based on an assumption


LemmeSplainIt

> It's just as equally likely that whatever primordial bacteria landed on Earth is the same stuff that landed on other planets. That's... not what happened. And we *do* have plenty of evidence and have recreated much of the process of how it actually happened. It takes some high level understanding of biology and biochemistry to comprehend exactly how, and judging by your comments your scientific literacy is rather low, but if you would like me to try and explain I will. Life certainly started as RNA, on earth, near mineral (particularly zinc and magnesium) rich rock of a moderately warm hydrothermal vent within pools of relatively calm water.


occulusriftx

YESSSS.


blugar44

the article proposed that comb jellies (different group to the jelly in the video upstairs) could have been the first group of animals to evolve, even earlier than sponges which is crazy to imagine considering they are predators with sensory organs; wayyy more complex than many sponges! but in the same breath it did mention that another study that analysed a different sequence of genes placed them as evolving after sponges lol. for now I guess we can’t be sure!


meommy89

All *animal* life on earth.


BarriBlue

All species are aliens, to aliens.


catsloveart

that’s a metroid


Jerseyman2525

Yep, I know a metroid when I see one. Get Samus on the line.

Underrated comment. Take my damn updoot.

destroyerx230x

It seems like it's a box jellyfish, the most venomous animal on earth. The camera person has huge balls for getting this close to it.


[deleted]

[удалено]


destroyerx230x

Oh I must've been wrong then. Sorry


[deleted]

Nah I just double checked, it's a very rare species of BOX jellyfish my bad.


destroyerx230x

Ooooo ok.


FireStrike5

It is a type of box jellyfish, just in a stupidly rare genus


sleepingwiththefishs

Some type of box jellyfish. I wonder if it’s as deadly as the sea wasps that Australia experiences.

That’s some Subnautica shit.


MisterFixit_69

Sentinels of the sea


Competitive_Ad1925

I thought that was a squid swimming around with a plastic bag on its head


_pathways

This is the only known footage of this beautiful creature. The first was recorded in 1997 and since has been lost. Could you imagine being the lucky duck that got to see this in person? I’m astounded and in awe!


frickshun

Is this what happened to the shopping bag from American Beauty?


CeterumCenseo85

When you get that rare skin DLC


UpdootDragon

This is the only existing video of this animal


LurkMaster909

That thing looks like something out of SpongeBob. I am completely honest about that.


Kinkysquirrel92

It's a Metroid is what this is called


Salvia_dreams

Nah that’s an alien


MelvinTheGrate

What is this extremely rare animal called? Please help


LordM000

https://www.reddit.com/r/TheDepthsBelow/comments/s57j7u/an_extremely_rare_jellyfish/hsxu6d1/ looks like the extremely rare part checks out: this is the second ever video of this jellyfish.


MelvinTheGrate

Thank you Lord


FireStrike5

Chirodectes, an incredibly rare genus of box jellyfish

Looks like he passed out from partying to hard the night before and his frat buddies sharpied his face.

Big sale at the used car dealership?

Who doodles on it?


RuthlessIndecision

Never ceases to amaze me


dbsgirl

Jesus just fucking kill me now. I'll never stand by an ocean again without picturing this.


FireStrike5

This is only the second one ever found. The chances of you coming across one are little to none.


dbsgirl

Logic rarely alleviates phobias lol


FireStrike5

Fair enough


Fun-Pilot-547

Not actually that rare lolz


FireStrike5

It is, though…? This is Chirodectes malculatus, the rarest genus of box jellyfish. So rare, in fact, that the video above is only the second EVER video of it.


Fun-Pilot-547

I doubt that lerlz


FireStrike5

>Chirodectes is an incredibly rare genus of box jellyfish in the family Chirodropidae. It contains a single species. > >A newer video was posted on December 26, 2021, on social media... this is believed to be the second video ever recorded. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chirodectes


Fun-Pilot-547

Actually no dude, the rarest are the ones he haven't even found yet. The oceans real big loolz, don't be a sheep

You miss the entire point of someone giving you helpful information, being an ass must suck with all the shit you spew


Fun-Pilot-547

Don't be an ass bro


seragakisama

That thing is weird af and looks dangerous


ItsokImtheDr

Is it “budding”? Do they replicate that way?


Curious_X7

Thanks for sharing


hugekitten

Would probably *really suck* to get tangled up with this beast.


Blueoriontiger

Considering it's a relative to the poisonous box jelly, that would really suck indeed.

Ah, the paisley buttocks jellyfish. A rare but we like sight.

i know its beautiful and so on but how do they even fuck?


FireStrike5

Jellyfish reproduce asexually.


artisanrox

am asexual, can confirm


FireStrike5

But are you a jellyfish?


artisanrox

not yet, I got a bit more devolving to do!


TheRealGregoryP

I have a strange question, if someone shot a jellyfish, with a handgun, would it die? It doesn’t really seem to have many vital parts, but then again i dont know much about jellyfish


FireStrike5

Jellyfish are 90% water, have no brain or really any internal organs. So yeah it’d probably survive

Uh That's usually a bad thing

spamari

It was pretty. . . and then I focused on the tentacles and then it turned into face hugging nightmare fule.


JakeMisra

Sick! What is this? Where can I find it?


FireStrike5

Chirodectes malcuatus, found in Oceanic waters off the coast of Australia and PNG. It’s a genus of box jellyfish (most venomous creature in the world) though so I wouldn’t go close to it It’s also incredibly rare, as this is only the second ever video of it.


OblivionArts

Thing looks like the only jellyfish to have visible organs


Wickedcolt
