Scientists have discovered a host of bizarre-looking deep-sea creatures in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean.

More than 10 previously unknown marine species were found thousands of metres below sea level on a six-week voyage by researchers from the UK's University of Aberdeen.

The scientists believe some of the colourful and transparent creatures could provide the missing evolutionary link between backboned and invertebrate animals.
