00:00:01.103 --> 00:00:07.563
Somebody's going by above us.
What is that? Ooh. Ooh a squid.

2
00:00:07.563 --> 00:00:15.203
Ooh yes a squid. Squid. Ooh
follow it. Oh, gosh. Look how

3
00:00:15.203 --> 00:00:19.043
cool. Oh, it's just so. Is it
Bigfin squid maybe? Ghostly.

4
00:00:19.043 --> 00:00:24.963
Magnapinna? Magnapinna. Oh man,
look at him. Yes, that is a

5
00:00:24.963 --> 00:00:28.723
nMagnapina. Magnapinnidae is a
family of squid that Dick Young

6
00:00:28.723 --> 00:00:32.003
and I described and used to be
easy because we all thought

7
00:00:32.003 --> 00:00:35.923
there was only one species but
it turns out we've now found at

8
00:00:35.923 --> 00:00:43.623
least three or four species of
them. It's very alienish. Ooh

9
00:00:43.623 --> 00:00:47.943
look. Look you can see right
through its. I know. Mantle. And

10
00:00:47.943 --> 00:00:51.703
through its fins. Look how
beautiful. Magnapinna, they

11
00:00:51.703 --> 00:00:55.703
have all of their arms and
tentacles at this extension on

12
00:00:55.703 --> 00:00:59.863
them. Long spaghetti-like
extension. So they have to hold

13
00:00:59.863 --> 00:01:04.103
all 10 appendages out in this.
It's really difficult to tell

14
00:01:04.103 --> 00:01:06.663
that the arms from the
tentacles which is very unusual

15
00:01:06.663 --> 00:01:10.983
for a squid. There was a a
recent paper came out from

16
00:01:10.983 --> 00:01:14.643
Australia where they saw. I
think they had five

17
00:01:14.643 --> 00:01:19.123
observations and they figured
out how many observations there

18
00:01:19.123 --> 00:01:22.963
had been published up until
last year and it wasn't very

19
00:01:22.963 --> 00:01:27.843
many. Well, we got one more
data point.
