Description:
<DIV><b>Seek out the mysterious vampire squid on a stunning journey into the ocean’s depths with leading marine conservationist Richard Ellis</b> </div><DIV><BR>Renowned marine conservationist Richard Ellis gives a fascinating account of the vampire squid. Named <i>Vampyroteuthis infernalis</i> (“the vampire squid from Hell”) by its nineteenth-century discoverer because of its sinister appearance, it is neither a vampire nor a true squid, and lives in the deep ocean where few humans ever catch sight of it. A unique, stunning creature, it is sometimes called a “living fossil,” and it can light up or turn inside out at a moment’s notice. <BR><BR>Ellis’s narrative of the vampire squid’s history, evolution, and characteristics is brought into context by his broad knowledge of other squid, octopus, and marine species. More than thirty dazzling images illustrate the book. <i>The Little Blue-Eyed Vampire from Hell</i> is an exhilarating journey into the ocean’s abyss, boldly illuminating one of the earth’s most elusive creatures.</div>
