    Habitat: surface & midwater depths in open oceans around the world

    Some psychic mermaid (obviously those exist) definitely would use this guy as a makeshift crystal ball. It's got all the makings of one that's for sure. Well, except maybe for the ability to predict the future? Who the hell knows...that squid does look pretty funky.

    I do know that Glass Squids are characterized by their swollen bodies and short arms which have 2 rows of suckers. Juveniles live in surface waters but as they mature, they descend to greater depths. Some species even live 2 kilometers below sea level!

    I want one for the Hovel water feature (leaky pond - yet to be constructed) Hey Carly, when the pond is working and the frogs come I will take pictures and photoshop them into fantastic creatures - can you make up the science? Is that a deal?
