Masters of Marine Camouflage | Cockatoo Squids or Glass Squids

Do you like reading about squids like colossal squid? Cockatoo squid (Taonius borealis) also known as glass squid, cranchiid, cranch squid, or bathyscaphoid squid is a luminous marine animal that inhabits the deep sea. Found living near the seafloor of the North Pacific Ocean, this squid is popular for its nearly transparent body. Despite its ability to camouflage with ease, the animal often falls prey to larger predators like whales and sharks. It has a fluid-filled chamber that contains ammonia which gives the species a balloon-like shape that helps the animal maintain buoyancy even deep underwater. It is unfortunate that the squid has a rather short life because it is a treat to watch this glittering squid fluttering around in the dark waters of the ocean. They are currently listed as Least Concern by the IUCN Red List.

It only takes a few days to be okay to walk around after your appendectomy. He had a week and he acts like he’s so tough to make it to court after that. I’ve had mine out. Tons of people have. It’s not that hard and it doesn’t feel like a “major operation on your stomach”. It’s laparoscopic so there’s only a few tiny incisions. I can’t even see where mine were anymore.

Second one is a cockatoo squid. The first one is just another type of glass squid.

You shouldn’t have given this guy the camera attention. They literally messed with a ton of people because of their ego issues. He got off because he went and had a tiny operation (an appendectomy is like nothing, I had mine done too). He didn’t deserve more attention man.
