Vampire Squid | Nautilus Live

NAUTILUS LIVE 2014 | E/V Nautilus is exploring the ocean studying biology, geology, archeology, and more. Watch http://www.nautiluslive.org for live video from the ocean floor. For live dive updates follow along on social media at Facebook: nautiluslive and @evnautilus on Twitter. For more photos from our dives, check out our Instagram @nautiluslive.

During our overnight dive on June 27th, the E/V Nautilus team encountered a Vampire Squid (Vampyroteuthis infernalis), a deep-sea cephalopod. It's named the Vampire Squid because of its deep color and red eyes, not because it feeds on blood. - See more at: http://www.nautiluslive.org/video/201...
