Check out this crazy video of a rare "elbowed" giant squid recorded from a Shell Oil remote operated vehicle in the Gulf of Mexico.

This is another one migrated from my old blog. It is the first in a series that generated an unusually large number of comments. Thanks, PalMD
Another new study published in Nature Communications shows follows along with the prior post and shows that ancestral dogs were ambush hunters that evolved from forest dwelling animals similar to a mongoose (or a cat).
Nature study has taken a turn from the macroscopic to the microscopic.
I woke up this morning, feeling faint and ill, but I had to get to the library for free wireless so I could write on my blog.
Holy moly. That is no squid. That is the evil clown thing from "It" in it's new habitat.
Also interesting, this comment in the article:
"But the video is evidence of how, as oil- and gas-industry ROVs dive deeper and stay down longer, they are yielding valuable footage of deep-sea animals."
Evidence? Interesting word choice. I thought evidence was something to be gained from scientific inquiry. I would have said, "This video is an inevitable by-product of what happens when greedy companies destroy unexplored habitats because they are the only ones with enough money to go down there."
Seriously, should we like, thank the oil companies for their scientific contribution as they wreck the habitats for creatures like these so we can never see them again? Hopefully next time they will encounter squid with lasers instead, or in addition to, elbows.
