Sea Angel | Mysterious Organism Found Off The Russian Coast

Must read

“Sea Angel”, the name strikes as something beautiful and unimaginable under the sea. It is just as its name suggests.

Alexander Semenov was on an expedition under the sea when he saw the sea angel. Alexander works at the Moscow State University and is a Marine Biologist. The “Sea angel” belongs to the family of sea butterflies or Clione limacina, as named by the scientists.

Watch the sea angel swim around in the cold sea:

Confronting The Sea Angel In Cold Russian Waters

Alexander and his team were moving into the depths of the oceans and their goal was to look for unique and fascinating creatures that lived in the watery dark. A project known as Aquatilis was initiated that was tasked to bring forward important information about the unexplored regions of the Earth and bring to light the species that stay there. Alexander and his divers were a part of this project.
