b'Far below the ocean surface is a vast environment of cold, darkness, very scarce food, and surprisingly diverse life. Deep sea life is quite mysterious, in part because of their unusual adaptations for surviving in such tough habitats, and also because it\\u2019s very difficult to study organisms of the deep, modern or fossil. In this episode, we discuss what is known about the adaptations, evolutionary history, and diversity of life in the deep sea.\\nIn the news: blade-tailed ankylosaurs, ostrich-like dinosaurs, shrimps in clams, and carnivorous ichthyosaurs.\\nTime markers:Intro & Announcements: 00:00:00News: 00:04:00Main discussion, Part 1: 00:35:00Main discussion, Part 2: 01:25:30Patron question: 02:01:30\\nCheck out our blog for bonus info and pictures:http://commondescentpodcast.wordpress.com/\\nWe\'re now taking questions for our End of the Year Q&A!
