A USB Flash Drive Found In Frozen Seal Turb Can Still Work As Normal. How Amazing It Is!

Amazingly, it can still work like any other USB even when it was put into such a fierce environment.

A USB flash drive is something we can lose anytime and anywhere although we have put a lot of carefulness in it. That is completely true, especially when you bring it on a boat and drop it into the water. The following incident will be a good example for you, but the owner of this USB may have rare luck.

Leopard Seal Poop 1549533548

Researchers from New Zealand have accidentally found a USB inside the frozen dung of a seal. Amazingly, it can still work like any other USB even when it was put into such a fierce environment. And now, they want to look for its lucky owner.

Seal Poop

While researching the leopard seal, also known as the sea leopard, living in the Antarctic, volunteers that worked for the National Institute of Water and Atmospheric Research or NIWA collected poop samples of these creatures and freeze them to conduct further analysis. The process took place in November of two years ago.

In recent days, they started moving to the next step of research. To melt these samples, they put them into the water and separated useless things out of them like seaweed, feathers, and fur. During the process, a volunteer named Jodie Magnan realized something odd into the sample she was handling. How surprising it was! Magnan found a USB admixed with the poop. The researchers decided to keep it dried at room temperature, and the magic happened after some days. The little device ran as normal.

Now, they have a new mission: look for the owner of this USB flash drive. All of the data they had to conduct the search included a video recording part of a kayak and a series of images of sea lions on a beach.
