The first confirmed footage of a juvenile colossal squid in its natural habitat shows a delicate and graceful animal – far from the “monster” narrative we see all too often.
Fun fact - the first forms of photosynthesis were by red colored algaes and plankton - not green, because different colors of light penetrate the ocean to different levels.
I didn’t expect it to be so glowy
Most deep sea animals are glowy! Makes sense I think, there’s not a lot of light down there.

Looks to me like only the tentacles are glowy, and the body and eyes are just reflecting the camera’s light.
