The researchers were
not trying to find live, but when they drilled a900 meters or half-mile-long
hole into an Antarctic ice shelf, they found something surprising: a rock covered with
unknown animals on the seafloor below.
"This is shwing us that life is more resilient, and more robust, than we ever could have expected, if it can put up with these conditions," said Huw Griffiths, a marine biogeographer who, along with his colleagues, published a paper about the serendipitous discovery Feb. 15 in the journal Frontiers in Marine Science.
Some of the creatures had squat, round bodies, while
others had thin stalks that stretched into the surrounding water; parts of the
rock were also coated in a thin layer of fuzz, which could possibly contain
tiny, threadlike organisms.
Yes, this is the way God created the animals. but getting such animals on the icy moons of our solar system is not possible, cause they have to be have to be created..
