Out with @MBARI_News we were lucky enough to see a second, larger vamp also. This photo hasn't been altered--the eyes really look like that! One of the feeding filaments is extended, gathering detritus ('marine snow') which seems to be its main food; see https://t.co/prk7XTQUnL https://t.co/1IX7eqfN0m

What people are saying
Several discussions highlight specific aspects of the vampire squid's behavior and ecology, mentioning details like how they feed on 'marine snow' from detrital matter and their ability to thrive in oxygen-depleted zones. Comments such as 'vampire squids are real' convey a sense of wonder and encourage viewers to explore further while the detailed references to studies signify a deep understanding of marine biology. The tone ranges from enthusiastic to informative, effectively fostering a collaborative atmosphere for sharing knowledge.
Most discussions reflect a consensus supporting the article's findings about vampire squids and their unique feeding habits.
Participants show high curiosity about the species and its adaptations to deep-sea environments.
Many users reference specific research findings and engage in detailed discussions about the ecological implications of the vampire squid's diet.
While discussions acknowledge the significance of the research, the perceived impact on broader ecological issues is moderate.
Abstract in brief
- Vampire squid (Vampyroteuthis infernalis) are unique cephalopods that exhibit features of both octopuses and squids and have intriguing feeding adaptations.
- They primarily feed on detrital matter, including remains of zooplankton, crustaceans, and diatoms, utilizing retractile filaments for capturing food.
- Their feeding behavior allows them to thrive in oxygen-poor environments, where traditional prey is scarce, making them a fascinating subject of study in deep-sea ecology.

3. The vampire squid is very well adapted to oxygen-depleted regions of the ocean. So, expect to see more of these little guys, as we suffocate their potential predators by burning fossil fuels and bombing natural gas pipelines for geopolitical reasons. https://t.co/YBhFL4eBws

And get this: vampire squid aren't even true squids - they're closer to octopods. They're named for their blue eyes, reddish-brown skin & webbing between their arms - making them look like Count Dracula 3/ #12DaysofEMBRCchristmas https://t.co/PtyScSQWoI
Best example of this difference: the 'vampire squid' (actual name is Vampyroteuthis infernalis!) feeds on marine snow (plankton detritus) https://t.co/fQ8NtHYHgw https://t.co/PN7dTF6xB2 https://t.co/3fEB9hkyBY
