ABSTRACT: On March 1 and 5, 1982,
experiments in television photography instrumented by the landers VENERA-13 and
14 returned panoramas of the Venus surface at the landing site. Over the past
31 years, no similar missions have been sent to Venus. In connection with the
renewed interest in what was occurring during the experiment and to the
discovery of manifestations of possible life revealed on some of the pictures,
the panoramas were re-examined.Analysis of treated once again VENERA-14
panoramic images revealed a“snake”object about 40 cm in size
possessing apparent terramorphic features. The snake’s body stands out with its
honeycomb, spotty surface against the stone plates close by. The “snake”can
be included into the list of the most significant findings of the hypothetical
Venusian fauna. Apart from that, of interest is a“dove”object,
although details of its structure cannot be discerned. The snake’s body show
slow movements, which is another evidence of the Venusian fauna’s very slow
style of activity, which appears to be associated with its energy constraints,
and that is more likely, with the properties of its internal medium. The
terramorphic features of the fauna, if they are confirmed, may point out
outstandingly important and yet undiscovered general laws of the animated
nature.
