Imagine that during boat trips on the bottom you will meet a cast sock, but still purple. Amazing? Of course! The more that this may be one of the most mysterious animals in modern science. The inhabitants of the sea and ocean waters is generally poorly studied. It is therefore very interesting to learn something new from the world of animals. Let's try to understand what a sea dweller is a purple sock.
This natural wonder was first discovered a little over 60 years ago and in addition to the official scientific names firmly cemented the unspoken name of the “purple toe”. The description of this marine animal comes down to this characteristic: purple color, vague form resembling thrown on the floor or a sock or a balloon that was blown away, with only a small hole.
The Official scientific name of the sea mysteries of Xenoturbella. In nature there are animals of different sizes, the largest of which reaches half a meter in length. Due to the very large size of this type allocated in a separate category, calling it Xenoturbella monstrosa. On certain characteristics of the animal called "purple toe" end, but the strangeness is just beginning.
A Detailed study of this inhabitant of the underwater depths seriously puzzled scientists. It turned out that violet toe – marine animal that has no brain, spine and even the intestines for digestion. The only body available on body this miracle – a hole, serving simultaneously for entry and exit of food.

Originally, scientists were able to isolate DNA purple sock, which showed that it is representative of a class of molluscs. But later it turned out that purple sock just copies the DNA of food that eats.
Based on the fact that most members of this species found in the habitats of shellfish, it can be assumed that their sock and eats. But as it happens – scientists also a mystery.
The fact that the purple sock has neither the teeth nor the villus to push food or any proboscis. So, how exactly food gets into the mouth, is also in the category of inexplicable.
Sorry, just basking in the summer in the sea, such a sea a miracle can not be found. The habitat of creatures is the Pacific ocean. For the first time found a purple sock in 1949. Since this animal is rarely found, its population is quite small.
Closest to the person place in which you can find this sea animal is the California coast.
The scholars ' Disputes regarding the classification of Xenoturbella reached an agreement that this pet is among the simplest organisms, related worms. The study of it is ongoing, but one marine researchers say by far – this marine animal has reached us from the initial stages of evolution, so it can be called one of the most ancient inhabitants on the planet.
A Detailed study of the purple sock will allow scientists to fill existing knowledge gaps about the evolutionary process and to reinforce their good example. After all, Xenoturbella, or purple socks, – this animal, the bodies of which are yet to develop. Therefore, knowledge about this animal suggests, were formed in the evolution of such vital organs as the brain, eyes, intestines, and others, without which other living organisms can not exist, and a purple toe and still manages.
In the meantime, this sea mystery in no hurry to reveal all your secrets: scientists have not been able to see how the purple sock takes in food and is released from digested food.
