Nevada: University of California researchers have discovered a new creature in the waters of Mono Lake in eastern Nevada.
The important aspect that scientists have discovered about this creature is that it can also help experts identify the origin of organisms that existed 650 million years ago.
This creature is an organism called a choanoflagellate. An organism that is unicellular (a creature with only one cell) but that can divide into many cells, just as animal embryos do.
However, this creature is not a type of animal but belongs to a different group of all animals. Experts believe that choanoflagellate can play an important role in understanding the evolution of unicellular life to multicellular life.
