OMG! Ok, I don& #39;t want to get too excited...but according to several squid experts, this may be the FIRST VIDEO OF A LIVE RAM HORN SQUID! While these squid have many extinct relatives, they& #39;re the only ones left of thier kind & have a spiraling shell!

Look: I get it& #39;s kind of a potato-shaped buddy, but if this is a ram horn squid (aka Spirula) this is a BIG FREAKING DEAL! Their small chambered gas-filled shell floats & can be found all over, including the Gulf of Mexico where I found one, but the owner of the shell? MYSTERY!

And the wildest part is that THEY SAW IT LIVE ON BROADCAST! If you& #39;re not following @SchmidtOcean, if you& #39;re not tuning into the live broadcasts: they& #39;re AMAZING. Literally, THIS ANIMAL IS PROOF. OMG OMG! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K9SGggy4BfQ">https://www.youtube.com/watch...

I& #39;m very excited to follow this story and see what the consensus is: If it& #39;s not a rams horn squid (aka Spirula), IT& #39;S SOMETHING WEIRDER. I freakin& #39; LOVE mystery squid! https://twitter.com/SchmidtOcean/status/1320903699384840199">https://twitter.com/SchmidtOc...

Also for those who are wondering: if this is a Spirula than the shell in on the inside, as this wiki diagram shows. And it has chambers which may allow for buoyancy control. The Whole thing is WILD.
