Vampire Squid
Despite its name, the Vampire Squid (Vampyroteuthis infernalis) is not a true squid. It belongs to its own order, Vampyromorphida, and has characteristics of both squids and octopuses. They are relatively small compared to other cephalopods, typically having a mantle length of about 6 to 12 inches. Vampire Squids are found worldwide in various regions of the deep ocean, typically residing at depths ranging from 2,000 to 4,000 feet. These creatures have light-producing organs called photophores. They use bioluminescence for various purposes, including counter-illumination to match the faint light from the surface and avoid predators below.
