It’s in Portuguese, but the photo is good.
EDITED TO ADD (11/23): Title corrected.
This squid has a light-producing organ on its underside powered by luminescent bacteria, possibly making it less noticeable from below.
I already blogged about these whisks, but there are now squid spreaders as well.
A photo of the still unnamed species:
A 0.2-inch-long (0.5-centimeter-long) larval squid is seen through a microscope’s lens in this handout image released October 16, 2007, by WHOI.
The young squid was caught within 328 feet (100 meters) of the surface of the Celebes Sea, an unusual basin that lies between the southern Philippines and Malaysia.
There’s always more squid cartoons.
And don’t forget “How to be Happy.”
