- Title Footage Of Rare Deep Sea Squid Attacking Camera
- Summary Scientists from the University of Western Australia were fortunate to not only capture images of a deep sea squid but also witness the creature lunging towards the camera. Camera vessels were deployed over 1,000 metres deep in the South Pacific, on May 8, when a deep-sea hooked squid appeared. The mesmerising squid not only provided a perfect sighting but it also viewed the camera as prey and lunged toward it, completely covering the view with its tentacles. The bioluminescent wonder is known for having glowing photophores at the tip of its arms which is utilised to dazzle potential prey.
