Seeing the image of this spectacular monster, one might think that it is extracted directly of someone of Ridley Scott’s movies and his Aliens’s saga. Nevertheless, it is necessary to clarify that this photography is royal. It is what is in the habit of happening when you increase the reality thousands of times: it can manage to scare, especially if someone remembers the fearsome aspect of the mites that surround us.

 In this case, the image has been publicized by the Swiss biologist Philippe Crassous across FEI, a company specialized in Electronic Microscopes of Sweep (SEM).

It is a question of a worm hidrotermal that it lives in the depths of the oceans. An organism that has been capable of adapting to the extreme conditions of the submarine fumaroles that expel warm and toxic steam. Thankfully for us, ally this one of the marine depths it is less fearsome if one realizes that the image has been increased 525 times by means of this powerful microscope.

 The equipment of biologists of Crassous discovered it last month and still today surprise reason to know up to what point there exist organisms capable of living in environments as hostile as the subsoils of the depths.
