Deep Sea Creature

Recommended Posts

Shell Oil released this video and news on November 24, 2008. On November 11, 2007, a Shell Oil company deep sea ROV (remotely operated vehicle) filmed this critter at a depth of 2.5 kilometers, in the Gulf of Mexico. It's a seldom seen species of squid, although this one is new to science with it's "bent elbows". It's fairly big, I'm not sure how big yet. I doubt it knew it could be seen, the video is probably night vision enhanced type. It appears to be standing (floating) there watching... If you haven't ever read about these critters, they are considered to be very intelligent.

The guy controlling the camera looked like he was the same guy who films night time street races. Never focusing on the interesting things, but instead allowing it/them to get out of the frame of the camera. The video was short as hell as well. What's up with that?
