Magnapinna sp. - The Long-armed Squid
Loading...
Uploaded by MBARIvideo on Dec 21, 2009
In May 2001, MBARI geologists were using a remotely operated vehicle (a tethered robotic submarine) to explore the seafloor off Oahu, Hawaii when they came upon this amazing squid. They estimated the animal to be between four and six meters (13-20 feet) long. After just a few minutes, the squid swam off at high speed.

The way its arms stick out from the body, at first I thought it was an arthropod.

This particular clip is just a portion of approximately 10 mins. the specimen was filmed. Would love to see more than just a 30 second clip.
Thanks for posting though!
