Discovered transparent squid like glass

Scientists record images of transparent squid that are rarely seen in Canadian waters.

The research team on the Nautilus expedition vessel captures the image of a rare transparent squid near Juan de Fuca alley in Salish sea, off the coast of British Columbia, Canada, according to Mother Nature Network.

Transparent squid.

This squid species is called parrot squid because it has tentacles on its head that look like crest, or squid because their bodies are transparent. Scientists have discovered 60 species of squid throughout such a deep sea bottom of the Pacific Ocean. The squid in the video belongs to Taonius borealis.

Parrot squid not only looks beautiful but also has a very special body. Retaining ammonia solution in the body helps them float and take the shape of a balloon. They have large eyes and cells that contain pigment like polka dots for camouflage.

"The transparent body makes the cigar-shaped digestive gland visible, but the color-changing pigment cells will shine in red to help the squid hide itself , " the Nautilus team said. .
