-THE ISLAND LIFE-

In the warm blue waters of the Solomon Islands, an island chain in the South Pacific, lies one of the world’s largest sea creatures.

Roughly the size of two basketball courts, it’s neither a whale nor a giant squid.

It is a single piece of coral.

On Wednesday, a team of researchers and filmmakers exploring the Solomon Islands revealed that they found what they claim is the world’s largest individual coral colony.

The coral, a communal organism comprising millions of animals called polyps, is 34 meters wide and 32 meters long — and so large it can be seen from space.

A typical coral reef is made of many different coral colonies, most of which are genetically distinct, whereas this is just one individual.
