Vampire Squid from Top Weird Sea Creatures

Vampire Squid 1 100x100

This phylogenic relict is the only surviving creature of the order Vampyromorphida. This red-eyed weirdo is a small creature (up to 6 inches long) which has large fins, that look like bat’s wings, on its body, and tentacles connected by black webbing. Both, the fins and the webbing help it move really fast through the water. Too much resemblance to Stoker’s ‘Dracula’? Wait to see this! Thanks to the existence of light-producing organs called photophores, which cover its body, it can hypnotize its prey and defend itself.
