After 100 years we finally have video material from a colossal ink fox

While the colossal squid was identified and named 100 years ago, people have never seen one who swimming around in its natural habitat. A long -distance vehicle used by Schmidt Ocean Institutes from Schmidt Ocean Institute found film material from the colossal youthful ink fishing on March 9. It happened near the South Sandwich Islands in the South Atlantic, about 430 miles southeast of Südgeorgia Island.

Every discovery like this is a big deal, but it is a little more cute. This is not a colossal squid, it is a baby.

The youthful squid looks almost like a glass. His transparent body shows its inner organs, and the slow movement of his orange tentacles draws attention to his bright eyes.

Scientists observed two curved hooks at the clubs at the ends of the long tentacles of the squid. There are also hooks in the middle of his eight arms, an essential feature for colossal inkfish.

It is a teenager, so it still has a transparent body that resembles the creatures that are known as a glass ink ink ink. The baby ink ink fish loses this transparency with increasing age.

The video was taken at a depth of 1,968 feet, and the young inkfish is almost a foot long. An adult colossal squid can weigh up to a length of seven feet and up to £ 1,110, which makes it the hardest invertebrate on the planet.

We don't know much about how colossal ink fish live because they are difficult to observe in their natural habitat. You have found scientists in the stomachs of sperm whales, so it is a great development to get a video in the deep sea. Colossal ink fish are still a mystery, but now a little less of one.
