British oceanographers using an undersea robot to explore life around a deepsea vent just discovered a strange creature.

The creature had two eyes, two flippers, and a nose-like structure between its eyes.

When it approached the camera on the robot the creature: blinked its eyes, flipped its flippers, and then broke out with a dozen sea anemone like flower like structures out of its skin, and then finally spouted a cloud of blood out of its nostrils, before vanishing into the deep.

The British scientists announced that they still "can't figure what the flippin, bloomin', bleedin', blinkin' thing is!"

Partially April Fools.

Partially a salute to the late Ronnie Corbett who used that joke in a sketch in his show "The Two Ronnies".

Too bad. It would have made a magnificent real sea creature.
