Deep Sea Squids

The deep sea squid Octopoteuthis Deletron is a truly unique and beautiful form of marine life. It has the ability to glow with a chemical that makes it easily noticeable in the deep dark sea, a characteristic that makes it vulnerable to many predators.

When it feels threatened, the squid species do not run; instead, it strikes first. As the fight ensues, the creature will cut its own bioluminescent arms off to get away from the enemy. This move acts as a diversion since the enemy will be left confused by the glowing and twitching limbs. The squid can then regrow its missing body parts and live on for another day.
