"The vampire squid can turn itself 'inside out'"

Only, it can't.

[green pastures]

It makes one wonder why it was called the vampire squid instead of the shapeshifter squid. Or simply “Odo.”

[isom35]

it will still taste good right?

These cephalopods --they’re technically not squids-- live in the deep ocean with millions of other species, some of which are little-known and on which little study has been done.

Robison says human activities threaten all of these.

“They are threatened by ocean warming, decreasing oxygen, pollution, overfishing, industrialization and dozens of other changes taking place in the deep. We have a responsibility to learn all we can about these amazing animals and to protect them from the greatest danger to life in the deep: the human species.”

While the sea floor has had significant study, he points out little exploration has been done on this water above the deep floor.

Sigh. Once again. Data BEFORE accusations. If only to avoid the appearance having a presupposed outcome. Gee, I wonder why certain branches of Science are in the midst of a credibility crisis...

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.

Well, seems like we should have a change-of-pace, there.

Vampyre Squid?

Frowning takes 68 muscles.
Smiling takes 6.
Pulling this trigger takes 2.
I'm lazy.

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.
