Say hello to the cockeyed squid, yes, that’s really its name! With one giant eye staring up for sunlight and one tiny eye peering down into the deep, it’s perfectly adapted to life in the twilight zone of the ocean. It even glows in the dark thanks to built-in bioluminescence, making it one of the ocean’s most fascinating oddballs.
But like many deep-sea creatures, the cockeyed squid is vulnerable to threats we rarely see: deep-sea trawling, pollution, and climate change. Protecting this quirky little squid means safeguarding one of the most mysterious and unexplored ecosystems on Earth. Because when the deep sea suffers, the whole planet feels it.
