I didn’t expect it to be so glowy
Most deep sea animals are glowy! Makes sense I think, there’s not a lot of light down there.
Fun fact - the first forms of photosynthesis were by red colored algaes and plankton - not green, because different colors of light penetrate the ocean to different levels.
Looks to me like only the tentacles are glowy, and the body and eyes are just reflecting the camera’s light.
Yoooo!! Finally!!! I remember seeing the scars on a whale from their hooks as a kid, and being amazed that something like that could exist. Finding out no one had ever seen one alive devastated little 2nd grade me lol
call Samus Aran
It doesn’t say how big this particular squid is in the video. Anyone have a guess? At a glance it seems so very small but without a reference, it’s impossible to tell.
The article says it’s 30cm long, so still some way to grow for it to really be colossal.
Cthulhu Fhtagn
