New Species Alert! Scientists have just discovered an entirely new marine species. Initially thought to be a pinniped, related to seals, a mucus sample revealed a genome unlike anything seen before—possibly extraterrestrial. Even more shocking, experts believe this could be an intelligent species, rivaling orcas and dolphins. Audio analysis of its vocalizations suggests it may have even attempted communication. Preliminary translations indicate a groundbreaking first contact: “Peecha chakka no wookie boonowa tweepi solo?
