Vampire squid

Post by AndRoiDeR » Feb 16, 2012 Views: 5676

The vampire squid (or Vampyroteuthis infernalis) is probably the most weird sea animal in the world. Its name itself is enough to give you a bad feeling. But the truth is that the vampire squid is really a harmless animal.The vampire squid or "the vampire squid from hell," gets its name from its characteristic appearance. It is typically deep red in colour and its arms are attached, like an octopus, and when they are outstretched, resembles a cape of a vampire.


It is found in most of the tropical and temperate oceans under the depths of 600-900m. The body of a Vampire squid is covered with light producing organs called photopores. These photopores are capable of producing light for a fraction of a second to several minutes. These photopores are a great weapon to the vampire squid who uses it with magnificent expertise to create wonderful effects.

The most weird thing about a vampire squid is the way it catches its prey. Some experts say that a vampire squid hypnotizes its prey with it photopores. Also when attacked by a predator, it sprays a sticky cloud of bio luminous mucus instead of ink. The predator dazed by these light emitting particles, gives the squid enough time to escape..
