The Dana Octopus Squid- he has headlights
More from the endlessly fascinating deep.
This is a squid that lacks the 2 extra long feeding tentacles that most squids have.
He hugs his prey in a death embrace instead.
What really makes him special are his 2 lemon sized organs that light up
A lot about him is still a mystery so marine biologists aren't sure if they're a lure or used like flashbulbs in the blackness to shock prey and make them easier to catch.
They grow up to 7 feet long and are very agressive, known to attack any camera or remote deep sea equipment 😬
