A newly discovered deep-sea creature has scientist seeing red, just like those deep-sea creatures who have no evolutionary reason to detect the color red.
The discovery is odd, because scientists had figured deep-sea animals can’t see red light, since they live where sunlight doesn’t reach and therefore have no evolutionary reason to detect the color.
