Earlier this year, a similar discovery was made in Oklahoma, sparking wild conspiracies of alien egg pods.
These are animals that form a colony together: water bag bryozoans, ecologist Anne Nijs toldAD.
In America they are also called the blob, she added.
The big bag is formed by several animals together.
At a certain point they form a colony and different colonies can then stick together again.
A bag can become 2 meters in diameter.
That bag then attaches itself to something, she said.
But fortunately they do not harm the environment here, she added.
It is the first time that they have been discovered here.
So it is a very special story, she told the outlet.
Earlier this year, theOklahomaDepartment of Wildlife Conservation shared pictures of bryozoans found in the McGee Creek Reservoir.
The conservation department warnedboatersabout seeing these strange jelly-like balls hanging from submerged tree limbs during the summer.
These microorganisms are native and are of no danger to you orwildlife.
In fact, they are an indicator of good environmental quality and clear water!
the department said onsocial media.
What makes them look and feel like jelly?
They also noted that these organisms are important to the ecosystem.
They often spread through water connectivity or even by passing through the intestinal tract of fish or birds!
