🚨Not one, but 2 Magnapinna squid! 🚨 The #doldrums team observed 2 elusive Magnapinna sp., commonly known as bigfin squid, at approximately 4,300 m (about 2.7 miles). Sightings of these animals are extremely rare — seeing two in one dive is extra exciting!

We’d like to tell you a joke about this squid, but it might fly right over your head.🦑 #TaludContinental_IV team suspects this beauty may be Ommastrephes bartramii — a red flying squid. They use a siphon as a jet propulsion system to launch out of the water & evade predators.

Opisthoteuthis, or flapjack, a genus of cirrate octopuses observed at 1,040 meters during the #DeepWonders expedition. Using their umbrella-like body shape, they coast through the water. Their fins help guide their way (despite looking like large floppy ears).

The #DeepWonders science team, led by Dr. Diva Amon of SpeSeas, is seeing many sea cucumbers, including these rhythmic water dancers that could be Benthothuria sp. They are part of the deep-sea cleanup crew, ingesting decaying detritus & pooping clean sand along the seafloor.

¡La famosa batata! During #TaludContinental_IV, the science team nicknamed sea cucumbers batata, which means sweet potato in Spanish. While we have no authority to change animal names, we believe batata is an excellent upgrade for the oh-so-important but humble sea cucumber. 🇦🇷

Some polychaetes are bioluminescent; this sassy sparkler has protein structures in the bristles, making them iridescent. Polychaete means many bristles, and each body segment has a pair of fleshy protrusions called parapodia covered in bristles called chaetae. #ChileMargin2024

This gathering belongs to the family Nephropidae. We suspect they are Thymops birsteini, or Patagonian lobsterette — crustaceans found on the continental shelf around S. America, particularly the Argentine Sea. #MarDelPlataCanyon #TaludContinental_IV

Float like a glass squid. What might it feel like to reach a state where your body’s density perfectly matches your surroundings? Their buoyant bodies are filled w/ ammonium chloride, which is lighter than seawater & helps them conserve energy. 1,729 m -#ArgentinianDeepSeeps
