I think our oceans offer us some of the most diverse, dynamic, and interesting forms of life on the planet. They present a world so alien to our own that we can’t fail to be intrigued by the fascinating creatures that inhabit it. These beings have evolved according to a completely different set of biological rules than those governing us land-based creatures. For me, the bigfin reef squid embodies such a beautiful and fluid shape. With its sleek, streamlined body and full length fins, it is a creature full of movement and grace yet also a fearsome predator, truly resembling the stuff of science fiction.
