The sea is full of wonders. There are rejuvenating jellyfish that are nigh immortal, and giant squid, over 10 meters in length, lurking in the dark deep waters. Bizarre creatures gather in whale carcasses that sank on the deep seafloor, and endangered species of birds inhabit the forests of a deserted island. This book introduces research results on selected mysterious sea creatures.
