與仔豬魷魚的罕見相遇讓深海探險家們不知所措

"It kind of looks like it has a nose and eyes, right? And hair? ... And lipstick."

“它看起來好像有鼻子和眼睛，對吧?”有頭發(fā)嗎?…有口紅。”

"It's like a weird reindeer head."

“它就像一個奇怪的馴鹿頭。”

That was the reaction of those aboard the research vessel Nautilus when they came across an interesting-looking squid in the central Pacific Ocean. It may not sound scientific, but their enthusiasm and curiosity counts.

這是諾第留斯號科考船上的人在太平洋中部遇到一條樣子很有趣的槍烏賊時的反應。這聽起來可能不科學，但他們的熱情和好奇心很重要。

It turns out this memorable creature is actually a piglet squid.

事實證明，這種令人難忘的動物實際上是一只小豬魷魚。

The Nautilus team got a rare, close-up encounter with this see-through squid that has a siphon that looks like a snout.

諾第留斯號跟這只透明的槍烏賊進行了一次罕見的近距離接觸，這只槍烏賊有一個看起來像鼻子的虹吸管。

The piglet squid is able to regulate buoyancy with an ammonia-filled internal chamber, and it often floats with its tentacles above its head as you can see in the photo.

仔豬魷魚有一個充滿氨氣的內部腔體，可以調節(jié)浮力，它經常在漂浮時把觸手舉過頭頂，就像你在照片中看到的那樣。

The photo was recorded at about 4,544 feet below the surface of the ocean near Palmyra Atoll.

這張照片是在帕爾米拉環(huán)礁附近海面以下約4,544英尺處拍攝的。
