While surfacing from last #OctoOdyssey dive, ROV SuBastian came across what we believe to be a gulper eel that had VERY recently eaten. AKA "Pelican eel" for its ability to expand throat & stomach into a massive balloon-like scoop to swallow up squid or swarm of shrimp. Thoughts?

I’m a seafloor kind of girl, but the water column is pretty fab too. Check out this Gonatus onyx squid we saw - those are eggs in its arms! They will carry those (thousands?) of eggs for a few months. Amazing footage via Schmidt Ocean and our teams excellent timing. #octoodyssey
