I see a little silhouette of a clam.....
RubyMoonNite
Very very frightening

Mankind: Let's eat them into extinction!
ProbablySmellLikeDoge
The ocean be like that sometimes
HumanFromPlanetEarth
You miss me, bitches? -that clam probably
kristProblemLord
Is it possible that the species resurfaced due to the warming climate?
redmangc
Maybe but the Coelacanth was randomly found. Finding animals thought extinct is not as uncommon as youd think. But yes Warming is the reason
mdh5663
Probably got reanimated by that leaking Fukashima radiation.

Cooooki crisp!

Better hope Japopos doesnt get their hands on these!

So annoying when this happens. Every time the weirdos come out like “See, it IS possible Nessie is a plesiosaur that survived extinction!”
SageOfDepth
More fun is the idea that Nessie is the ghost of a dinosaur. Explains how it simply vanishes.
DukeDarkwood
By that logic, it's also possible that there is a teapot floating in space, somewhere between the orbits of Earth and Mars.

Or a whale and a bowl of petunias

Why is it they're always in the last place you look?
Quizz25S
"A place carefully combed over by scientists for many many years" Turns out they were in the first place we looked all along...
SoraHjort
Chances are they were noticed before, but people gave them no mind. You have to be in the right mindset to go "...wait... that clam is odd"
IUpvoteFuturama
In our defense they didn't have milk cartons 30 thousand years ago, I for one didn't even realize I should be looking.
TheWombatStrikesAgain
I know I SAID I already looked there, but it's like... a really long trip, and I don't have a car. So sue me.
AlwaysUpvotesRaul
Because once you find it, you stop looking.

Hey, wait a minute...that clam doesn't have a beard!
ArchMagos
It got shaved off.

I wish trilobites were still around
RubyMoonNite
Curl up bugs remind me of trilobites - probably so different, but maybe a surviving cousin?
homoerection
Potato bugs?
RubyMoonNite
I think so - we call them curl up bugs
Kightzeareau
28000 years and still alive. Would love to see a documentary on how it was capable of such a feat. That's a big discovery.
ZebraCockSandwich
there are quite a few oceanic animals that have extremely long histories. Like horseshoe crabs - 480 million years and nautilus' 500 mil
ZebraCockSandwich
and the six gilled shark, 200 mllion. Hes really cool.
