Russian Fisherman Captures “Never-Seen-Before” Creature, Sparks Alien Theories
A recent incident involving a Russian fisherman, Roman Fedortsov, has sparked widespread interest and speculation about extraterrestrial life. Fedortsov, known for sharing unusual marine life discoveries on Instagram, caught a smooth lumpsucker fish, which he identified as Aptocyclus ventricosus. This deep-sea creature, characterized by its bulbous, gray appearance, has been likened to fictional aliens from movies like “Mars Attacks” and “Megamind” due to its unusual features.
Creature Identification: The fish is a type of marine ray-finned fish that inhabits the deep sea and can grow up to 44 cm in length.
Public Reaction: Social media users have reacted strongly, with some jokingly calling it an “alien” or comparing it to characters like Megamind or Voldemort from Harry Potter.
Speculations: Some users have humorously speculated about the creature being evidence of extraterrestrial life, while others have made more dramatic comments, suggesting it should be destroyed.
Despite the humorous alien comparisons, the smooth lumpsucker is a known species, albeit rarely seen due to its deep-sea habitat. This incident highlights the public’s fascination with the mysteries of the ocean and the often bizarre creatures that inhabit it.
