十种透明动物 10 Transparent Animals

Called Phronima, this unusual animal is one of the many strange species recently found on an expedition to a deep-sea mountain range in the North Atlantic. In an ironic strategy for survival, this tiny shrimplike creature shows everything it has, inside and out, in an attempt to disappear. Many other small deep-sea creatures are transparent as well, or nearly so, to better camouflage themselves in their murky surroundings, scientists say.

这种与众不同的动物名为“Phronima”，是最近在北大西洋深海山脉进行探险时发现的众多怪异物种中的一个。为了生存，这种微小的类虾动物采取了反其道而行之的策略，它们不是选择躲避，而是将自己里里外外的一切毫无保留地展现出来，试图让自己在捕食者的视线中消失。科学家表示，其它很多小型深海动物身体也都呈透明状或者接近透明，以便在漆黑环境下更好地伪装自己。
