At a depth of 3,300 meters, scientists managed to film a very rare squid of the genus Magnapinna
Almost nothing is known about them, but this elusive creature was first recorded in 1907, and in total about 20 encounters have been recorded.
The length of its tentacles can reach 8 meters, which is about 90% of the total length of the body. With their help, it collects from the bottom all living things that come its way.
This particular specimen is still young, and adults can be much larger.
