One Wing and Toot

3D Model

These creatures are developing as a vision for what might await us in our very own neighborhood, not in the ocean deep of planet Earth but slightly farther afield under the ice of one of the frozen moons of Jupiter or Saturn.

Strange how these ideas “evolve”. I saw these two “Europans” (from Europa- a moon of Jupiter) in a symbiotic relationship.

As both descended from a common ancestor, they share common morphologies. Of particular interest are these “toot” appendages that range in purpose from water jet propulsion, sonic boom for protection and to stun prey, musical communication and as appendages for eating and defense.

More to come as we learn more about these remarkable creatures.
