Mesmerizing Footage Of Undiscovered Deep-Sea Life

Peinaleopolynoe orphanae: Peinaleopolynoe orphanae (elvis worm) is a species of Polynoidae discovered by Hatch, Liew, Hourdez & Rouse, 2020. The specimen was discovered alongside several others of the same genus (Peinaleopolynoe). It was named for geobiologist Victoria Orphan. The researchers were even able to capture remarkable footage of two P. orphanae scale worms apparently fighting each other, with the help of one ROV known as SuBastian. The video was taken in November 2018, at a depth of 2.2 miles (around 11,600 feet) in the Gulf of California.
