Finding and identifying these animals can be difficult, however; some are known only because researchers found their remains in fishing nets or in the bellies of seabirds. But on Christmas Day last year, the crew of the R\/V Falkor (Too), the Schmidt Ocean Institute\u2019s research vessel, caught sight of a creature never before seen alive.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">The team had planned to deploy its remotely operated vehicle, SuBastian, in a site known as the Powell Basin, but the movement of ice blocks forced the group to explore the region\u2019s outer edges instead.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">When the submersible dropped 7,000 feet, the team unexpectedly spotted a shadow through the live feed, which turned out to be an Antarctic gonate squid, a rare species of cephalopod, three feet long and releasing a green cloud of ink.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cIt was a beautiful squid,\u201d said Andrew Thurber, a deep-sea researcher at the University of California, Santa Barbara, who was aboard the vessel. \u201cYou see beauty all the time in the deep ocean, and this was just one classic example of it.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-1\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">No Antarctic gonate squid had ever been seen alive before, as far as the team was aware. They followed it for a couple of minutes and made sure to record it on video, capturing the creature\u2019s red coloration and white spots.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cVideos like this get me really excited,\u201d said Linsey Sala, a museum scientist who manages the pelagic invertebrate collection at Scripps Institution of Oceanography and was not involved in the expedition. Discoveries of species like this \u201ccan be really informative to how they live life at great depths,\u201d Ms. Sala said. Unidentified specimens might be sitting in collections around the world, she added, in which case the video footage could be helpful in revealing what they are.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Previous sightings of this species of squid have been limited to individuals caught by fishing vessels and squid remains found in other marine animals, mostly in the Falkland Islands.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cIt\u2019s always exciting to see live footage of a critter that was known only from dead specimens previously,\u201d said Bruce Robison, a deep sea ecologist at the Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute who also was not involved in the expedition.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">For those aboard the vessel, the discovery was \u201csheer elation,\u201d Dr. Thurber said. There was a fever of excitement even before they had properly identified the squid. To verify the species, Dr. Thurber and his colleagues sent the images captured by the underwater vehicle to taxonomists around the world.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-2\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Kat Bolstad, a cephalopod biologist at the Auckland University of Technology in New Zealand, helped identify the animal. The squid\u2019s sex and age were difficult to determine, but the single hook in each tentacle, seen through the images sent to her, confirmed that the species was Gonatus antarcticus.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">The hooks might be helpful for securing and latching onto prey, a characteristic shared with other squids. The squid also had scratches on its arms and sucker marks on its mantle, possibly from a recent attack by another sea creature.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Deep-sea squids are hard to encounter and document. Conducting research thousands of feet below the sea surface is challenging and expensive, and the animals tend to avoid remotely operated vehicles, which are often noisy and bright. These vehicles are \u201caliens of the deep,\u201d Dr. Thurber said. \u201cSo it really depends on them to come and look at us.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">This particular dive was part of <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nationalgeographic.com\/animals\/article\/antarctic-squid-filmed-alive-first-video\" title=\"\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">the National Geographic<\/a> and Rolex Perpetual Planet Expedition, an initiative to document climate change in the mountains, rainforests and oceans.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">This was not the first elusive squid to be filmed by SuBastian, the remotely operated vehicle. This year, the submersible also <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2025\/04\/15\/science\/squid-colossal-deep-sea-exploration.html\" title=\"\">caught sight of a colossal squid<\/a>, Mesonychoteuthis hamiltoni, a century after the animal was first described in a scientific paper.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-3\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">But much less is known about the Antarctic gonate squid, which lives in the waters of the southern ocean and spawns at depths below 2,000 feet.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Penguins in the region are known to feast on Antarctic gonate squid \u2014 smaller ones, anyway. They also are preyed upon by colossal squid, which share the same depths and waters.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">The discovery promises to shed light on the lives of Antarctic gonate squids and sets up even more questions. How far do these squids move? How wide is their range? What are they feeding on in the deep? How much bigger do they grow?<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cWe know so little about that community that there could be all sorts of things going on that we can only wonder about,\u201d Dr. Robison said.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<p><script async
