Video shows hideously ugly organism jiggling and pulsating as it's dragged from the water.
A DISGUSTING blob creature that looks like a BRAIN has been discovered in a lake called The Lost Lagoon.
The horrible beastie is a nasty brown colour and is said to feel squishy but firm to the touch, a bit like jelly.
This horrible thing is made up of millions of tiny organisms =====================================================================
Celina Starnes, an ecologist from the Stanley Park Ecology Society, dragged the blob from its watery home
This image gives a sense of the size of the horrible creature
======================================================================
Celina Starnes from the Stanley Park Ecology Society pulled one of the specimens out of the Lost Lagoon in Stanley Park in Vancouver, Canada.
In the video above, the organism can be seen jiggling and pulsating as it's dragged from the water.
The blob is called a bryozoan and is actually made up of tiny microscopic organisms called zooids, which can multiply without needing to have sex.
They are known to live further south in areas east of the Mississippi River, but this is the first time they have spotted in such a northerly area.
It's believed they may be thriving across North America due to climate change.
"With warming climate, they might migrate somewhere farther north," Ian Walker, a biology professor at the University of British Columbia, told National Geographic.
The beastie's brown colour helps it blend into its environment
======================================================================
It bears a striking resemblance to a human brain
==========================================================================
But there's an even bigger "blob" out in deep space which is threatening to collide with the Milky Way, humanity's home galaxy.
But don't worry, it's not actually alive.
It's a gigantic gaseous globule, dubbed Smith's Cloud that's hurtling towards our galaxy at a startling pace of 700,000 miles an hour.
Experts are predicting an enormous galactic fireworks show when the collision finally occurs in 30 million years time.

I thought this was about Blob Beckel.
This one is easy. Bryozoan.
Found them in the Wethersfield Cove some years ago. Looked it up......colonial creatures. It’s a commie plot.
I thought this was going to be an article about HilLIARy
The cold! It hates the cold!
I wonder if t hey are good to eat?............kinda like caviar?................

I have seen these things many times over the years, I always thought they were egg pods for amphibians.
Common around the world. Easy to keep in the aquarium. When they die it makes a putrid mess.
So, the author had to make the article about “climate change”. Geez...
