“The team spotted this Stubby Squid off the coast of California at a depth of 900 meters (2,950 feet). The stubby squid (Rossia pacifica) looks like a cross between an octopus and squid, but is more closely related to cuttlefish. This species spends life on the seafloor, activating a sticky mucus jacket and burrowing into the sediment to camouflage, leaving their eyes poking out to spot prey like shrimp and small fish. Rossia pacifica”
CURIOUS to the MAX 
This doesn’t even look real. I’m going to have to Google it…

Jacqui,
I checked it out — did you watch the video and hear the researchers reactions? The scientists were as smitten as I was.

It doesn’t look real – I had to check it out to make sure it was legitimate. Sooooooo cute.

Hmmmm, looks more like a kid dropped a plush squid-toy overboard. Should have named it after the late actor Marty Feldman – perhaps Squidicus Feldmani?

Rick, Duffy’s dad,
Did you listen to the video – that’s about what the researchers said too.
