Strange, Rare Deep Sea Squid Filmed Alive in Wild for First Time Ever – Newsweek
The ram’s horn squid was filmed off the coast of Australia by researchers with the Schmidt Ocean Institute.
Scientists have filmed a bizarre and rarely seen species of deep-sea squid alive in the wild for the first time.
The three inch long ram’s horn squid, also known as Spirula spirula, lives at depths of over 3,000 feet and, due to being so small, is rarely seen in its natural habitat.
