Rare deep-sea creature seen walking on 13-foot-long legs at depth of 10,800 feet
Footage from the depths of the Tonga Trench in the South Pacific has captured a bigfin squid (Magnapinna) walking on its 13-foot long tentacles. The rarely-seen creature was seen 10,800 feet (3,300 metres) below the surface of the water and was snapped by an underwater rover deployed by the Minderoo-UWA Deep-Sea Research Centre. Magnapinna sightings are so rare that only 20 of them have been documented to date. It is one of the deepest-dwelling squids in scientific records.
