From seven different squid and octopus species to various mollusks and crustaceans, Teuthida showcases incredible biodiversity. Each specimen holds its own unique charm, captivating scientists and enthusiasts alike. In the depths of the Atlantic Ocean off Cape Verde lies a juvenile Onychoteuthis sp. , one among many deep-sea species that roam these unexplored waters.
