At the bottom of the ocean scientists have discovered a huge creature

She was found at a depth of 2100 meters near the reserve, Papahanaumokuakea.

In the North-West of Hawaii, discovered the biggest sponge in the world.

The body of the family Rossellidae reaches 3.5 meters in length and two meters in height — as the car.

The sponge is found at a depth of 2100 meters in area marine sanctuary Papahanaumokuakea. It was filmed during Oceanographic expeditions.

Unlike corals, long-lived, whose age can be determined by the minerals, in the case of sponge-giant scientists are at a loss. She may be several hundred, maybe several thousand years.
