Not so. There are millions of species we haven’t catalogued, and the sea is as much a mystery to us as the nearest galaxy.

But these pictures just show how much we have to learn. Here’s a still just to show you (the link below has 6 pictures):

It’s pictures of an on the Brazil-Peru border. Amazing really, just imagine what they’re thinking. A plane flying overhead and you’re still living in grass huts like cavemen of old. Some of them are even firing arrows at it, now that would be a war wound to take home.

They even paint themselves from head to toe, it looks like. Some are blackened, some are orange, one appears red. It does make me wonder just how they contact them, do they take soldiers with them just in case? Do they offer them trinkets like the spanish did?
