The largest photophores known to science belong to the Dana octopus squid (Taningia danae). They have a eyelid-like membrane they can use to cover them up, and they use these lemon sized photophores to flash their prey as they grab them with their hook covered arms. #SQUIDtember

A Dana octopus squid (Taningia danae) swimming in the ocean, with its photophores glowing brightly. Its arms are held together Its fins are curled as they are mid flap, and you can see its mantle gets much thinner where the fins are. The squid has dark red colour and the photophores are yellow green. Two images of the same Dana octopus squid (Taningia danae) side by side. It is in the deep sea, so the background is dark navy blue. The squid is dark red, with dark blue eyes and bright green photophores. Left Image: A Dana octopus squid (Taningia danae) about to attempt to eat a camera. It is quickly swimming towards the camera while opening its arms and flashing its lemon sized photophores. Right Image: A Dana octopus squid (Taningia danae) grabbing the arm of an ROV. It appears to be attempting to hunt the arm, although it quickly realizes it is not food and swims away. The arm is metal, with a camera and a brush at the end. The camera has an orange plastic bit at the end. A black cable extends out the back of the camera going back to the body of ROV. There are some metal and plastic ties on the arm. The squid has its arms grasped around the camera and the end of the the arm. Its fins are mid flap, and its siphon is in its centre, peaking out of its mantle on the visible front of the squid. The photophores are not visible.A Dana octopus squid (Taningia danae) swimming in the ocean. Its fins are open and flapping. Its arm extending out horizontally, in line with its body, with their tips curled out and back. In the centre of the arms are its arms with its two large photophores that are shining. It is dark red, except for the underside of its arms which are a lighter red, and its photophores which have a yellow green light.A Dana octopus squid (Taningia danae) descending to the sea floor.

Brian Poindexter: "Max Miller voted for the biggest cut to healthcare funding in American history. Why? In order to pay for a massive tax cut for billionaires and big corporations. Families like his get a tax cut. Families like ours get higher healthcare prices."

Octopus DNA is so complex, scientists still don't understand it. While all other animals on earth evolve through multiple generations, octopus DNA can change while they are alive. This started the talk about octopus "alien DNA". Scientific paper below the video.
