In April 2012, at an oil rig in the Gulf of Mexico, people accidentally recorded images of a strange sea creature appearing at a depth of 1,500m.

At the time, scientists thought it was a dolphin placenta. However, the hypothesis was quickly dismissed because the placenta is very nutritious and it cannot escape the eyes of predators.

According to the announcement from the Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Center, the strange creature is a placental jellyfish (scientific name: Deepstaria enigmatica).

Placental jellyfish are commonly found in cold waters in Antarctica./.
