[U] In The... "What are THOSE?!" Department: Marine Biology Mystery Edition


From almost 2,800 feet under the Sea of Cortez, off the coast of Mexico. . . this is a lovely NOAA.gov mystery.

What is that? It is demon red -- complete with "horns". . . and it is likely folded up, to shield its eye from the blazingly bright undersea camera lights -- the video is jaw slacking; do watch it:

". . .The strange squid was captured on April 17 by the crew of NOAA ship Okeanos Explorer during a scientific voyage studying an ocean area never explored before. The mission has been conducting both scientific research and capturing images of deep-sea habitats in the western Gulf of Mexico that likely found nowhere else. . . ."



Yes I do love me some. . . life science. Onward, to a water workout now, myself. . . smile.
