Cameras captured a deep-sea swimming sea cucumber, also known as the “headless chicken monster,” for the first time near Antarctica, researchers said.

The underwater cameras, utilizing new technology, spotted the species in the Southern Ocean off of East Antarctica. Previously, the unusual creature had only been filmed in the Gulf of Mexico in 2017.
