Am I the only one impressed that sea life at the bottom of the Marianas trench has developed this level of technology?

Here is a higher quality and less cropped version of this image. Here is the source. Per there:

Edit: Here adds that this was a plastic ice bag. The bag hasn't imploded because the ice turned to water.
