NATURE OF HUMAN OCEAN
Vampire
squid is an apt name for a creature that lurks in the lightless depths of the
ocean. Comfortable at 10,000 feet (3,000 meters) below the surface, these
diminutive cephalopods navigate the blackness with eyes that are
proportionately the largest of any animal on Earth. The species gets its name
from its dark, webbed arms, which it can draw over itself like a cloak. It
occupies the mesopelagic and bathypelagic regions of temperate and tropical
world oceans. The animal's physiology has adapted to enable it to live at the
very low oxygen levels found within the oxygen minimum layers of these regions.
