Bathyteuthis is the singular genus of squid in the family Bathyteuthidae, encompassing three species. Bathyteuthis species are found scattered throughout the world's oceans at mesopelagic to bathypelagic depths, commonly between 700–2,000 m (2,300–6,600 ft). They are found in deep-sea territories and can be spotted on the coast of New ...
A frame from the first colour film of a live giant squid in its natural habitat, [nb 1] recorded from a manned submersible off Japan's Ogasawara Islands in July 2012. The animal (#549 on this list) is seen feeding on a 1-metre-long Thysanoteuthis rhombus (diamondback squid), which was used as bait in conjunction with a flashing squid jig. [2]
The first years of the 21st century saw a number of breakthroughs in live giant squid imaging [46] that ultimately culminated in the first recordings of live animals (#548 and 549) in their natural deep-water habitat—from both a remote camera system and a manned submersible—in July 2012. [47]
There are 60 different species of glass squid in the Cranchiidae family and they live in the deep water all around the world. Some of them, like the Cranchia scabra, are as small as four inches ...
As with the oegopsids, the Bathyteuthida lack corneal membranes covering their eyes, something common to myopsid squid, and have paired oviducts, lacking in myopsids. As with the myopsids, bathyteuthids have tentacle pockets in the head and small suckers on the buccal supports, found only in this group, Loliginidae , and Sepiidae ; neither is ...

The giant squid is widespread, occurring in all of the world's oceans. It is usually found near continental and island slopes from the North Atlantic Ocean, especially Newfoundland, Norway, the northern British Isles, Spain and the oceanic islands of the Azores and Madeira, to the South Atlantic around southern Africa, the North Pacific around Japan, and the southwestern Pacific around New ...
