00:00Have you ever heard of the Vampire Squid?
00:02Despite its frightening name, it is neither a monster nor does it drink blood.
00:06It lives in the depths of the ocean, between 600 and 900 meters deep.
00:12where there is almost no light and oxygen is very low.
00:16Very few animals can survive in this environment.
00:19Its body is dark red, its eyes are enormous,
00:22And it has a membrane connecting its arms, giving it the appearance of a vampire cape.
00:27It was precisely this appearance that inspired its name.
00:30But what's most curious is their diet.
00:33Instead of hunting large prey, the vampire squid feeds mainly on remnants of organic matter.
00:39that fall from the upper layers of the ocean,
00:42such as small dead animals and particles known as marine snow.
00:46When it feels threatened, it doesn't release ink like other squid.
00:50Instead, it releases a cloud of mucus that glows in the dark.
00:54confusing predators and giving them time to escape.
00:57Amazing, isn't it?
00:58One of the most mysterious animals of the deep,
01:01with the look of a horror movie,
01:03but completely adapted to one of the most extreme environments on Earth.
