If the Bloop had come from an animal, it would have been larger than any blue whale ever recorded.
While deep-sea marine life — like the giant squid — thrives at extreme depths, no known species could generate a sound that intense. Plus, even though some sharks and deep-sea creatures make mysterious noises, none match the Bloop’s power.
However, the ocean is vast, and scientists have only explored about 5 percent of it, making the likelihood of an undiscovered species lurking in the deep a strong possibility.
