They aren’t technically squids, and they don’t suck blood. They’re just little guys

They are great. They filter feed floating debris with sticky feeding tentacle and they have existed very deep in the fossil record.

@ZARA it’s not so much that they’re posers—the scientists that discovered them thought they were terrifying and misidentified them as squids. Their full scientific name translates to “vampire squid from hell”. And they can’t be correctly classified under any existing category of animal, so now scientists just call them vampires!

Sea slugs
I think about these guys all the time Fun fact: Some sea slugs can steal the genes from other things. Some steal from plants to create their own energy via chlorophyll! Others steal nematocysts (stinging cells) from jellyfish so they can sting predators!! They’re squishy little thieves!!!

Swell sharks!!
little catsharks that swallow a bunch of water when they get scared and inflate to up to twice their original size!! Extra points for being cute and for being great nappers (they‘re nocturnal and sleep all day)
