What is the Weirdest Sea Ceature Ever?

Vampire Squid A Vampire Squid is a small sea creature that only grows to about six inches in length. It is known to scientists as Vampyroteuthis. In 1903 scientists thought that it was an octopus. It is similar to both squid and octopuses. It has large fins at the top of its body, which they flap as that they fly throught the water. It has the largest eyes relative to its body size of any animal and are a redish almost blue colour. I has eight arms which are all connected with webbed skin. Each arm is lined with a row of suction cups and rows of soft, fleshy spines called cirri. The colours of the supid range from black to a pale red. Their bodies are covered in light-producing organs called photophores which allows the vampire squids to "turn itself on or off." This process is called bioluminescence. They eat prawns, copepods, cnidarians and other small animals. Vampire squids can go a long time without eating which is a good thing because food can be hard to find in extreme depths of the ocean. In this case, they are found in depths of between 90 and 900 metres. They like temperatures between 2 to 6 degrees celsius.
