The vampire squid vampyroteuthis infernalis lit. Vampryoteuthis infernalis is a unique work that is at once literary and philosophical poetic and scientific and it nicely combines the imaginative fancy of the beast fable with elements of science fiction and horror. The fact that the long arms flow like a black cape remind many people of a vampire wearing one.
The vampire squid uses its bioluminescent organs and its unique oxygen metabolism to thrive in the parts of the ocean with the lowest concentrations of oxygen.
The name of this particular squid is very different as is the overall appearance of it. It has special filaments it can retract. It can be found throughout the temperate and tropical oceans of the world. Author of the illustration.
