The Animal Made of Glass
From Mysteries of the Deep · 8:58
Show by John Davidson
Four hundred metres down off the Philippines, a basket woven from glass stands on the mud — and inside it live two shrimp who will never leave. John follows the Venus flower basket, from fibres that pipe light like optic cables to reefs of glass thought extinct for forty million years.
