Alien Movie Creature was inspired by an Amphipod - 'Phronima'

Found one of these creatures alive, at the beach, the other day.

Is that a baby still in the egg sack or an adult someone has placed in resin?

Hi John,
Go to Scribblygum and see Topic ' Blue Planet Alien Found'.
The image I found using Google Search.
I think the animal I found was an adult and the resin isn't resin it's the remains of a Salp, some sort of seajelly that the animal eats out from the inside then uses the remains as a home and transport mode. Hence the inspiration for the Alien in the Movie 'Alien'.

Probably this is one of the Sea creatures who live deep down in the Seas.
They have just recently discovered that even in the deepest and coldest (as Ice) places in the Seas life exists in a most peculiar way, beautifull...

It was on discovery some months ago and no human had thought there could be life at this places, for it is as black as the night without Moon and Stars and cold as Ice out there.

But life exists there and wonderfully well.

So the explorers of Earth haven't explored Earth for a long run.

What are they doing in Space when there is so much to discover on Earth.

Making more pollution, what else...

To doom with Earth and the Planets surrounding Her, for the human race wants everything under its control.

Well, it can't happen.

The exploreres of the Seas are by the way good humans who only observe, not do hurt to these beautifull creatures in the deepest of the Seas...
