Scanning the depths off the Philippines (http://travel.nationalgeographic.com/travel/countries/philippines-guide/) in 2007, an undersea robot beamed back video of a worm—or was it a squid (http://ngm.nationalgeographic.com/ngm/0408/feature2/index.html), or a worm eating a squid?—with spiraling appendages, iridescent "oars," and a feathery "nose."
"When the image came onto the screen, everyone said, Oh my gosh, what's that?" recalled marine zoologist Laurence Madin (http://www.whoi.edu/more.go?username=lmadin) of the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution in Massachusetts.
