Researching the Vampire Squid
July 24, 2011 9:54 AM   Subscribe

Looking for resources relating to the Vampire Squid (Vampyroteuthis infernalis) for a school project. I especially need some high resolution images, video (I've found some good stuff on YouTube) and general information (you know, besides WikiPedia and a cursory Google search). Does anyone know of any outstanding resources out there?

Tonmo is like the internet capital of cephalopod enthusiasts. Here's their article on V. infernalis and deep sea cephalopods.

Tree of Life entry. The gorgeous photography book The Deep: Extraordinary Creatures of the Abyss also has a good high res photo of the vampire squid. (guess you'd have to scan in it/photocopy it though)

Check out the website of the Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute (mbari.org) they probably have something good for you. Vampyroteuthis rocks!
