A mile and a half (two and a half kilometers) underwater, a remote control submersible's camera has captured an eerie surprise: an alien-like, long-armed, and—strangest of all—"elbowed" Magnapinna squid.

Beautiful animal - I feel sorry for it though. They're drilling for oil in this thing's backyard. A pity . . .
