What a beautiful photo! (daiou-ika in Japanese)
I like giant squid.

Giant squid are huge creatures, measuring only 5 millimeters as babies, but growing up to 13 meters in size. 
What do they eat to grow?
And their lifespan is as short as two or three years.
Deep-sea creatures are mysterious and fascinating. 🔹🦑🔹
