Really love the quality of this new footage. Gives us a real close-up on the fin movement.

Full sighting on the channel!

Is there a better way to celebrate a new magnapinna sighting than having it win the #BestSquid contest???

vote vote vote!!!

[Sarah McAnulty, Ph.D @SarahMackAttack]

This is it. The final matchup of the #Squidtember #BestSquid competition.

When people ask what my favorite squid is, I reply "I have two favorite squid. They are both the best squid, but for opposite reasons."

Those two squid are the last two left in this competition.

VOTE!!!

Two hours left! Votes are very close, there's no way we'll lose to a 2 centimeter long squid right? RIGHT?!

[Sarah McAnulty, Ph.D @SarahMackAttack]

Today’s #Squidtember #BestSquid competitors couldn’t be more different.

Pygmy squid are, as I like to call them, the post it notes of the sea for their ability to secrete underwater glue!

Magnapinna are both eldritch nightmares & babygirls. Long and spooky. Belovéd.

VOTE!
