Bigfin Squid

Magnapinna pacifica

Group: Squid
Typical depth: to 300 m
IUCN status: DD

The bigfin squid is one of the strangest cephalopods known, trailing impossibly long, thin arms that hang at right angles like fine threads far below its body. Adults have only been glimpsed from deep sea vehicles, and what little depth data exists comes from caught juveniles, so much of its life remains unrecorded.

Taxonomy: Animalia › Mollusca › Cephalopoda › Oegopsida › Magnapinnidae › Magnapinna
