A deep-sea swimming sea cucumber has been filmed in the Southern Ocean off East Antarctica for the first time.
Real name Enypniastes eximia, commonly known as the "headless chicken sea monster", the creature had previously only been filmed in the Gulf of Mexico.
These sea creatures are known as the "headless Chicken Sea Monster" because yes, you guessed it - it looks like a headless Chicken just before it goes in the oven.
Data from the underwater cameras will be fed back to the Commission for the Conservation of Antarctic Marine Living Resources, the international body managing the Southern Ocean.
A magnificent creature dubbed the "headless chicken monster" was recently caught on video. One person who commented on the video stated:
I though that was a literal chicken swimming in the deep sea...
