I gathered from another article that it is already dead.

“Oh Brad, this will never work! We are too different! I’m a squid and you’re an octopus-”

“Baby, those things are just labels! All we need is love and we’ll be fine!”

“Oh, take me, you manly invertebrate hunk! Take me in your eight tentacles and never let me go!”

It was alive when found, but it may have died from lack of pressure, as it came from 3000 ft below sea level......

I’m agog at the octo-squid also.

Actually, it looks like it could have a Sunday morning children’s show from your photo.

The article mentioned that the pressure change usually killed fish specimens but cephalopods were unaffected. It was alive and eating shrimp last week, but another article did mention that the octosquid and other specimens had been preserved by freezing.

Formaldehyde leaves a taste that tarter sauce can't cover. :-)

They should have rephrased that.

A Deep Sea Pipeline, 55 Inches in diameter.
