A new species of squid<\/a>. pretends to be a plant:<\/p>\n

\n

Scientists have filmed a never-before-seen species of deep-sea squid burying itself upside down in the seafloor\u2014a behavior never documented in cephalopods. They captured the bizarre scene while studying the depths of the Clarion-Clipperton Zone (CCZ), an abyssal plain in the Pacific Ocean targeted for deep-sea mining.<\/p>\n

The team described the encounter in a study published Nov. 25 in the journal Ecology<\/i><\/a>, writing that the animal appears to be an undescribed species of whiplash squid. At a depth of roughly 13,450 feet (4,100 meters), the squid had buried almost its entire body in sediment and was hanging upside down, with its siphon and two long tentacles<\/a> held rigid above the seafloor.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe fact that this is a squid and it\u2019s covering itself in mud\u2014it\u2019s novel for squid and the fact that it is upside down,\u201d lead author Alejandra Mej\u00eda-Saenz<\/a>, a deep-sea ecologist at the Scottish Association for Marine Science, told Live Science. \u201cWe had never seen anything like that in any cephalopods\u2026. It was very novel and very puzzling.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

As usual, you can also use this squid post to talk about the security stories in the news that I haven\u2019t covered.<\/p>\n
