This funky print captures its mesmerizing beauty as it glides through the dark depths of Monterey, California. With small white discs scattered all over its body, this squid is like a walking light show! Those dots are actually photophores - specialized organs that produce their own dazzling glow. Talk about being a true party animal! But what makes DOW-149 truly unique is its position in the animal kingdom. It's currently the only member of the Vampyromorphida order, sitting right between octopuses and squids. And boy, does it know how to stand out! Sporting eight long arms and two extraordinary filaments that extend far beyond its body length, this squid has got some serious style.

These sensory wonders help our groovy friend find food even in the deepest corners of the ocean. So next time you're feeling down or need some underwater entertainment, just gaze at Steve Downer's captivating print of DOW-149.
