There must be beautiful creatures like these in the waters of the Gulf of Mexico. Is anyone sending down remotely operated vehicles to see how they are faring?
They are so graceful.
Thank you, Zooillogix. Good stuff!
Where would you find Squid? How far underneath the water are they usually located? What do squids diets mostly consist of?
Amazing!!
Neil nailed it! certainly a queen of the ant Oecophylla and the species being smaragdina.
