Sargasso Specimen

Sargasso specimen found preserved in ice while in Antarctica searching for the remains of fossilized plants! Dr. Brian Anadile discovered a much rarer prize: a perfectly preserved specimen of the now extinct Sargasso sea serpent. Only 3 feet from head to tail, the Sargasso resembles a leafy sea dragon in that it has kelp-like feelers sprouting from its head. However, it is clear turquoise blue, and can live for up to 200 years. the male found was in his 90s, and he had recently sprouted his adult feelers, which can tell a female when a male is mature. Anadile and his researchers have brought their find back to their laboratory in Buenos Aires. He is excited to have such a specimen. "This find may well give us clues as to how to save the Sargasso." he said to reporters. The Sargasso Sea Serpent found was dated to the 1600s C.E.
