Scientists have just found a species of shrimp that lives near an extremely deep volcano at the bottom of the Caribbean Sea, where water temperatures can reach 450 degrees Celsius.

Until now, most of us thought that all food only needs to pass through a temperature of 100 degrees Celsius to ensure it is cooked and safe. However, the world is colorful and there are many surprises still hidden.

The most typical is the “stubborn” shrimp called blind shrimp rimicaris hybisae – a “brave” that challenges the abilities of chefs.

Up to now, there has never been any document mentioning the processing of this shrimp dish. The reason is extremely surprising, because this shrimp species does not die at temperatures of 100 degrees Celsius, even at 450 degrees Celsius they can still live and crawl.

This species of shrimp is said to live deeper than any other shrimp species known in the world. They live at a depth of less than 5,000 meters, in a crack in the sea floor where a volcano known as “Black Smoke” is still spewing streams of hot water into the ocean.

This species of shrimp was discovered around 2012 in the deepest volcanic area at the bottom of the Caribbean Sea – a place considered “the hottest on the planet”. They are called blind shrimp rimicaris hybisae because they do not have eyes to adapt to the evolutionary process and the harsh environment under the sea. Instead, this shrimp senses light through organs on its back to help navigate.

Rimicaris hybisae shrimp lives in an environment with water temperatures 4.5 times higher than boiling water temperature without being cooked.

But despite the harsh conditions, the shrimp, named Rimicaris hybisae, still live in groups of up to 2,000 shrimp per square ^meter around the 6m high crater with countless vents.

Thousands of Rimicaris hybisae shrimp cling around the vents in the “Black Smoke” crater.

These vents often spray hot, copper-rich liquids into the ocean. Scientists did not measure the exact temperature at the vents, but according to their estimates, the water temperature here could be hotter than 450 degrees Celsius.
