Scientists uncover complex animal life beneath the ocean floor at a depth of 2500 metres, challenging long-held beliefs

Scientists have discovered animal life thriving beneath the seafloor at a depth of 2,500 metres, challenging previous beliefs that only microorganisms could survive such environments. The study, near hydrothermal vents, revealed species like tubeworms and mussels. This finding suggests that complex lifeforms may exist deeper within Earth’s crust, prompting further exploration and enhancing our understanding of marine biodiversity.
