This transparent cranchiid, or cockatoo squid (Leachia sp.), retains ammonia solutions inside its body—giving it a balloon-like shape and helping it float. It has large eyes and pigment-filled cells (chromatophores) that look like polka dots and serve as camouflage—all adaptations to life in the deep ocean.
