can you do one about vampire squids ? 🦑
Tumblr media
Vampyroteuthis infernalis or Vampire Squid
It's (very dramatic) scientific name means "vampire squid from hell". However, the vampire squid is not actually a squid! It's actually the only animal in the Vampyroteuthidae family! It's separated into its own family because it can't change color or produce ink. Instead, it turns itself "inside out" (as shown above) to deter predators.
Tumblr media
Proportionally, vampire squids also have the largest eyes compared to their body size! They eat mostly zooplankton, marine snow, and other organisms waste. They grow to be about the size of a football and live to be around 8 years old.
Tumblr media
There's even evidence that vampire squids have been around since the Jurassic period- almost 200 million years ago!

Taking a dip back into the depths with this post.
The Sea Scarecrow is one of the many mermaid species from the Samhain-sirenia order. 
This mermaid gets it’s name do to its unique hunting strategy. The Sea Scarecrow with break the service of the ocean, it’s tail beneath the waves, and hover.
From there when unsuspecting schools of fish pass, the Sea Scarecrow will dive beneath the waves and capture it’s prey. Their appearance during this hunting strategy reminded seafarers of scarecrows, hence the name.
