<p>The glass tulips are actually bizarre-looking creatures called tunicates, plankton-eating animals that resemble slender glass structures up to a yard tall &#8220;standing in fields like poppies said the researcher.</p>
<p>The giant worm, at 10 inches (250 mm) long and weighing 11 ounces (300 gm), is an example of a phenomenon called &#8221;gigantism,&#8221; which scientists still do not fully understand.  It is known that gigantism can be commonly found in the Antartic waters.</p>
