"Rare 'Octopus Squid' with Giant Biolights Captured Attacking Camera"
Researchers from the Minderoo Foundation and the University of Western Australia captured rare footage of a Dana octopus squid (Taningia danae) using its large photophores to attack an underwater camera at a depth of 3,281 feet in the Pacific Ocean. This species, known for its colossal size and bioluminescent organs, uses light to stun prey and possibly communicate. The encounter provides valuable insights into the behavior and habitat of this elusive deep-sea creature.
