so, uh, this paper kind of started on this subreddit

u/SquidBolado and i just had a paper published: https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s00227-026-04927-1

we first started messaging each other over five years back trying to find new clips of magnapinna. he went on to create The Magnapinna Archive and i obsessively compiled all the data I could find on different collections and observations into a list on wikipedia.

alan from inkfish/UWA deep sea research centre reached out about doing a more formal writeup and analysis of the data earlier this year. the paper linked above is the end result!

Drew my favorite squid: Cock-eyed squid

The cockeyed squid, a poster child of the weird and crazy shapes animals take to survive the dark depths of the abyss.

These cool squids have an eye larger than the other. It faces upwards to in search of the shadows cast by potential prey, while the little eye looks downwards and looks for bioluminescent lights created by prey.

These deep sea giants reach a whopping size of....14 inches!

The squid is also found worldwide of depths between 600 and 3,300 feet!

Diamond Painting of Thysanoteuthis rhombus (Diamondback squid)!

My spouse’s mother made this for me. When I saw it, I started to cry because of how much I loved it. It’s the best gift that I’ve ever been given.
