With a scientific name that means "the vampire squid from hell," youd expect the vampire squid (Vampyroteuthis infernalis) to be a fearsome predator terrorizing the deep. Despite its demonic look, that isnt the case; instead, the vampire squid collects and eats drifting particles[1] called "marine snow[2]" using two long, sticky filaments. It doesnt seem like much food to fuel a foot-long cephalopod, but its enough for its slow lifestyle in dark, low-oxygen water with few predators.
