Vampyroteuthis infernalis is a type of living fossil, meaning that it has seen very little change since it first appeared, before dinosaurs, about 300 million years ago

but since that time massive impacts from space have erased whole taxa several times (at least) -- and yet...

This menacing looking squid is just one of many species "out of sight and out of mind" that could be threatened by human activities far away from the part of the ocean in which they live. The Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute has released this video of the vampire squid to emphasize a report that raises a red flag about the earth's oceans.

Thanks JoeProBono.

Oi, yuk. Sushi, calimari, just plain squid: raw, baked, fried, boiled, or ossified, it’s all the same....a Starving Man’s Diet.

Yeah, squids suck. /guffaw

I’ve had octopus, this was some years ago, at the Old Parthenon, what was a sort of down-at-the-heels family diner in the Greektown area of Detroit. We all ordered different things and swapped samples. The octopus still had the suckers on it. Tasted good. The mini-squids / calamari are whole, and look like and chew like something that came out of the Mattel Thingmaker.
