After years of mistakes and errors, science has finally come good. While investigating the Californian coast with a remote-controlled submersible, a team of researchers from the E/V Nautilus found this incredible squid. The goggly-eyed fella was chanced upon during a live stream, which means we get to hear the scientists involved react professionally and calmly to their discovery. (I'm kidding: they laugh a ton because it's very funny).
Some select comments:
- "What is it?"
- "It's got weird eyes."
- "It looks like they're painted on."
- "It looks fake."
- "It's like some little kid dropped their toy."
- "He. Is. Awesome."
Basically, it's all about the eyes. And although they may look weird and fake, just imagine this squid appearing...
