Watch a see-through squid with demon-like eyes swim in Alaska’s deep waters | Live Science
An alien-looking, see-through squid with demonic red eyes has been filmed in the deep waters off the coast of Alaska.
Researchers from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) Ocean Exploration team spotted the glass squid (Taonius borealis) on July 15 while operating a remote-operated vehicle (ROV) at a depth of around 2,300 feet (700 meters) in the Pacific waters surrounding Alaska’s Aleutian Islands. The dive was the first of NOAA’s Seascape Alaska 3 expedition onboard the NOAA ship Okeanos Explorer, which aimed to map unexplored areas of the deep sea in the state’s exclusive economic zone (EEZ).
Speaking of demons, here is the closely-related squid playing for the cameras.
