Great underwater animal video following the phenomenal activities of the Ridge Shrimp. Only discovered in 1985, these shrimp live entirely without sunlight and survive in the extraordinary conditions of the hot hydrogen sulphide billowing out into the ocean from the Earth's crust. Brilliant video from BBC wildlife team 'The Abyss'.

  • life definitely came from the ocean. Thats why life has to assimilate to aquatic conditions for reproduction. Example eggs, and the womb. Water carries out the role by allowing organic compounds to react in ways that ultimately allow replication.

  • Why are we here??

    And where we come from??

    And determination to where??
