Rare Bigfin Squid Spotted 2 Miles Deep Off California
MBARI researchers captured the first confirmed footage of a rare bigfin squid in the Northeastern Pacific, 3,277 meters deep near Davidson Seamount. The elusive creature, estimated at 1.25 meters, was seen gently undulating its fins. Fewer than 70 have ever been observed, leaving scientists with more questions than answers about deep-sea life.
