Squid’s Massive Ink Storm Clouds The Nautilus ROV
A team of squid displayed their impressive inking skills in a video taken by the Nautilus ROV. This event occurred while the crew was retrieving the ROV in open water. The squid were drawn to the lights of the ROV, and they released ink not just in black but in various colors. This ink forms a cloud that mimics the squid’s shape, helping them escape from predators. The ink can be thick and stringy, not just liquid, which is surprising.
