Friday Squid Blogging: New Squid Species Discovered

A blog post describes the observation of an undescribed deep-sea whiplash squid in the Clarion-Clipperton Zone that was filmed burying itself upside down in seafloor sediment — a behavior previously undocumented in cephalopods. The encounter, detailed in a study published in Ecology and led by Alejandra Mejía-Saenz, is presented as a novel and puzzling biological finding with context about the research location and implications for understanding deep-sea life.
