Blob-like creatures were unearthed recently in a Canadian body of water after the water level dropped, leading researchers to dig deeper into the occurrence. Located in the “Lost Lagoon” in Vancouver, these football-shaped brain-like blobs stumped the discoverers as multiple creatures had been discovered in the man-made body of water.
Key Takeaways:
- Per a story in National Geographic, a population of strange creatures called bryozoans has been found in a Canadian lagoon.
- Bryozoans are actually colonies of tiny invertebrates, called as zooids, that clump together to form a coherent mass and look like brain like blobs.
- It’s unclear whether the weird blobs have been in the area since the lagoon was formed or if they took up residence more recently due to rising temperatures.
