Magnapinna the Alien squid: Caught on video

The elusive Magnapinna, better known as the Alien squid has been captured on video by an oil company (Perdico) ROV in the Gulf of Mexico.

Magnapinna squid sighting is very rare and so far only one has ever been captured (dead unfortunately). It is a very strange creature and I like the way the National Geographic News describes it; ‘an alien-like, long-armed, and—strangest of all—"elbowed"’ squid.
