Mysterious tide Alien like sea creatures blanket US beaches From Oregon to California, a mysterious and breathtaking phenomenon has taken over the west coast's beaches. Millions of alien-like blue creatures, known as Velella velella, have been spotted along the shores, captivating beachgoers and sparking widespread interest on social media platforms. Commonly referred to as "by-the-wind sailors," these creatures are not individual organisms but colonies of hydrozoa that drift across the ocean's surface, guided by the wind, a Guardian report said. Velella velella, characterized by their sombrero-esque fin and trailing tentacles, are a common spring sight, though their abundance varies each year. Despite their seemingly single-entity appearance, these creatures are complex colonies responsible for various functions, from feeding to reproduction. Anya Stajner, a doctoral student at the Scripps Institution of Oceanography, emphasizes the rarity of encountering such colonial organisms on land, drawing parallels to corals, another type of colonial organism. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Other Videos from TrendingMailBox YouTube Channel Latest Surprise Discovery Within Tutankhamun's Tomb • Latest Surprise Discovery Within Tuta...
