The ocean is Earth’s last great mystery, a vast, uncharted world teeming with lifeforms we have yet to encounter. And now, scientists have uncovered a new deep-sea predator lurking in the shadows of the hadal zone—an extreme, inhospitable environment nearly 8 kilometers beneath the ocean’s surface. This recently identified creature, Dulcibella camanchaca, is not just a new species; it belongs to an entirely new genus, revealing an evolutionary branch previously unknown to science.
