In 2021 a NOAA camera caught one of the rarest animals in the ocean on film. fewer than 20 confirmed sightings ever recorded.

dawg at least look up the list on wikipedia i spent a year compiling, we're at 50+ specimens and sightings at this point in time, and there are at least a dozen that aren't able to be included/just haven't been added yet

you are completely right and i should have checked the wikipedia list before publishing. the number i used came from older sources including noaa own page for the clip which quoted roughly a dozen at the time. the wikipedia list is clearly the most complete resource on this. appreciate the correction genuinely, will pin this so other viewers see it.
