It's not clear why so many of the typically elusive creatures were in the area. A week later, when the expedition returned to the same spot, there was no sign of the supergiant amphipods, which was "very, very strange," Jamieson said. .

(In 1983, an albatross regurgitated a supergiant amphipod, that, not surprisingly, was in poor shape. Researchers estimated at the time that, when alive, the creature would have been 13 inches (34 cm) long.)6 Z! D, C8 ^9 F! O

Supergiant amphipods (Alicella gigantea) were first discovered in 1899, when a trawling expedition turned up two specimens from the Atlantic Ocean. The species wasn't seen again for nearly 100 years. In the 1970s, scientists photographed the oversized creatures in the northern Pacific Ocean, hundreds of miles north of Hawaii. ) k/ K j9 [6 J! ~/ f9 X0 r, Y4 [$ s
Then in the 1980s, scientists managed to bring back a few specimens of the giant crustaceans from the same area.5.39.217.76& j7 b7 D4 T+ |8 j3 B5 k
