Crypto Zoology The Study of The Unknown
A review.
The only known species in the order Vampyromorpha, into which it was placed in 1903, and is so strange that has the distinction of a taxonomic category all to itself, being possessed of features of both the octopus and the squid.
The reason for this wondrous luminosity is predatory, the squid equipped with photophores – special light-producing organs emitting a deep blue light – large ones on tentacle tips and around the eyes, along with thousands of tiny ones throughout the body.
Chinese people use it as food and medicine, as well as a component in fragrances, or an adornment, for Ambergris is seen there as not only a sign of wealth, but also a celebration of the great dark unseen ocean mysteries.
Found throughout the Virgin Islands, typically close to shore, these small squids (six to twelve inches as adults) frequently change color and are constantly flashing intricate dots patterns as they communicate with each other.
Sea experts are beginning to get a great concept now of how squid listen to and how they respond to appears to be in the beach.
Squid take it in mate choice in the deep ocean apparently not as accurate: The shellfish put their sperm indiscriminately on males and females. The Californian scientists noted in a study.
