A Unknown life form found.

[Nantosh]

I highly dont its an unknown life form ¬_¬

just some kind of jelly fish creature that was probably washed into the sewer
system and as learned to adapt.

Speciation, as you just described, results in a new species.
Thus, this is a new species (unless of course it is denied by taxonomists).

People are saying it's a ball of worms. There's a source somewhere where an expert says they're some kind of fresh water worm species that likes to group together but IMO it's nothing like these blobs.

A jelly fish that biologically adapts to a new environment becomes a new species. This would make it a new life form; as you have explained but refuted at the same time?

[zShared]

different, but at the same time a lot of scientist believe that we have only discovered 10% of living things on earth so far.

Yajooj and Majooj

Would you care to elaborate?
I google'd it.. but all I understood was that they are human beings from the book of.. uh.. qur'an? (google too >_>)
so yeah.. not getting what you mean.

That, gents, is one nasty looking bryozoan.

That's what I said > >

According to this article they aren't bryozoans. Says they are clumps of Tubifex worms.. ew.

FOR THE SWARM

[Kraq]

I squirm when it moves

[/Pi]

Curious as to how big that thing is and where that sewer leads to...

*shudders*

[Key-J]

looks like elizabeth greene was down there... (see if anyone gets it(

lol PROTOTYPE!!!

And, yeah those things are way messed up. No doubt about it.

I read somewhere that it's a sort of sponge like creature.
Earth is a strange place and you can find the strangest animals in the strangest places. Which is why I love nature documentaries, always find out something interesting.
For instance last time I checked something I found out there's an entire eco system based around one lousy under water volcano at 3km depth. Seeing as it's a damn volcano and volcanoes are hot the water there was actually 70 degrees Celsius. No light penetrates so deep so it was also an ecosystem without the dependence of light.
Urhg, I'm drifting away from the subject. Over time I've come to learn there are not so much people who share an interest for nature documentaries anyways

You should buy the Earth series it's so cool to watch.

Saw it in class already Some times school isn't all that bad.

[Goseki]

Tubifex worms, a colony of annelids. Seems right. Dirt will probably build up in the cracks along the sewer making it an ideal place to thrive. If you look carefully, you see some of the "appendages" attaching to the wall are pretty wormlike and the blob itself has many yellow lines wiggling when it contracts. Of all the possible hypothesis, the annelid colony worm seems most likely.

From what I can tell, it's probably just some worms that went floating into the sewer, caught on to some dirt. Ate food, reproduced asexually, than formed a colony via emitting some mucus to attach themselves together or form the cocoon we see.

It's a blob?
I don't care about blobs.

Planet earth? On discovery?

That was a decent mini series. You know some of those animals like the snow leopard and the birds of paradise, the photographers camped spots for over 2 months to get pictures of.

=S mind numbing boring that would be

Earth is different from Planet Earth. I like Planet Earth better, but for me personnaly The Blue Planet is the best because I love underwater documentaries. I have my PADI and all so I was toying around with the idea to see what I could do to become like a camera man for such movies, but the job's too biology focussed (who would've guessed ) and I just enjoy looking at it.
It would be a job I'd be passionate about and that's gotta count for something. Right now it's all textbook shit and don't even know what I want to do with this.
Drifting away again

Anyways, think of the sense of accomplishment for the photographers when they get the perfect shot. I don't think they see it as mind numbing. I'd see a 9-5 job handling customer calls and shit as more mind numbing. I remember that specific episode and it was also a world first in displaying certain things, don't remember exactly.
But yeah, each to his own, I know I'd be extremely enthusiastic if I got to capture that kind of unique footage for a living.
