Abstract

The present study deals with one new form of hesperas, hypothetical living objects found on panoramas obtained on the Venus surface by the VENERA-13 and VENERA -14 landers in 1982. Novel hypothetical objects of Venusian fauna, called amisadas, may belong to terramorphic living forms. At a cursory examination the amisadas body has the size of 12--15 cm. An amisada has a well-distinguished body that (when observed from above) resembles a fish. However, amisadas have organs of rest (and, probably, of motion) like reptiles. Their motions are very slow, same as of other objects of Venusian fauna. Three amisadas are seen on fragments of the VENERA -14 panoramas. Despite the VENERA-13 and VENERA -14 landing sites separated by a distance of 900 km from each other, amisadas are found in both places. By virtue of a close position of the objects to the TV-camera lens, low noise intrinsic to VENERA-14 images and sufficient number of the panoramas, relatively detailed images of amisadas were obtained permitting to follow their motion.
