Shell Perdido Oil Platform Creature

Well if you consider all the fresh water that was added to the oceans with the polar caps melting over the past few years it would and has caused deep water sea life to come into shallower waters. It is is obviusly by its body a deep water or ocean valley dweller. The arms themselves point to this fact as although they are overly "long" they are used as a web to catch anything it can.
Add to that the recent Japanese deep sea finds of a flurry of lfe in areas so deep we thought it would have been impossible for life to survive the shear pressure of the water and lack of light and oxygen. Expect to see alot more of these in coming months. The farther the fresh water spreads the more of these creatures we will see in shallow waters.

Thanks for posting. I LOVE that video. I mean, how cool is THAT? Either a giant squid or just a really big "normal" one. I bet oil rig divers have some pretty good tales to tell.
