The name Vampyroteuthis infernalis means “Vampire squid from hell”. And vampire squid are freaky looking creatures — red with cloudy eyes that can appear blue or blood red, depending on how the light hits them. But appearances can be deceiving. Turns out, the squid from hell has eating habits more in line with those of Bunnicula. The squids’ entire diet is made of “marine snow” — floaty little bits of algae, poop, and bacteria.
