Last time I saw it because I put it in a bucket and threw it out. I saw a little kid walking by it and they clearly did not recognize it as a dead rat because it got to the point that it just looked a lot like mush of leaves or something, unless you were looking super carefully. RIP rat.

A deep-sea gorgonian growing on the nose of the sunken RMS 'Titanic'. Photographed with my participation during the dive 1/240 of the deep-sea manned submersible 'Mir-2' during the 42nd cruise of the research vessel 'Akademik Mstislav Keldysh'. The depth is 3850 m. The photo was previously used in my article (Vinogradov G.M. 2000. Growth rate of the colony of a deep-water gorgonarian Chrysogorgia agassizi: in situ observations // Ophelia, 53 (2): 101−103, fig. 2), the gorgonian was identified by the second, collected, specimen as Ch. agassizi. Later T.N. Molodtsova (P.P. Shirshov Institute of Oceanology, RAS) reidentifited it as Ch. campanula (Molodtsova T.N., Sanamyan N.P., Keller N.B. 2008. Anthozoa from the northern Mid-Atlantic Ridge and Charlie-Gibbs Fracture Zone // Marine Biology Research, 4 (1): 112−130, p. 122).

Глубоководная горгонария, вырасшая на релинге носа затонувшего «Титаника». Сфотографирована при моём участии во время погружения глубоководного аппарата «Мир-2» № 1/240 в 42 рейсе научно-исследовательского судна «Академик Мстислав Келдыш». Глубина 3850 м. Фотография ранее была использована в моей статье (Vinogradov G.M. 2000. Growth rate of the colony of a deep-water gorgonarian Chrysogorgia agassizi: in situ observations // Ophelia, 53(2): 101−103, fig. 2), горгонария была определена по второму, собранному, экземпляру как Ch. agassizi. Позже Т.Н. Молодцова (Институт океанологии РАН) переопределила её как Ch. сampanula (Molodtsova T.N., Sanamyan N.P., Keller N.B. 2008. Anthozoa from the northern Mid-Atlantic Ridge and Charlie-Gibbs Fracture Zone // Marine Biology Research, 4(1): 112−130, p. 122).
