New Caledonia, Coral Sea, South Pacific
POV beneath our boat: I know you’re not supposed to sneak up on the neighbours… I’m just trying to make new friends 😉🦑
Meet the Bigfin Reef Squid, a hypnotic creature that moves through the ocean in a flicker of color, changing shades in a split second to communicate, hunt, and hide.
With one of the fastest growth rates in the marine world, it can reach full size in just a few months.
With W-shaped pupils for excellent underwater vision, lightning-fast reflexes, and complex cognition, these curious little hunters are far more advanced than most people realize. 👀
Closely related to octopuses and cuttlefish, they’re part of the cephalopod family, known for their problem-solving abilities, three hearts, and even blue blood.
Powered by jet propulsion, they can vanish into the blue in an instant, one moment curious, the next completely gone. 💨🦑
Smart, fast, and seriously mesmerizing, an incredible creature to encounter in the wild. 💙
