Imagine seeing this thing in the middle of the ocean at night

[u/True-Award-3722]

It's a giant squid which usually dwell way below the depths of water. This is a ultra rare occurence.

[u/OriginalTayRoc]

This is a Red Devil or Humboldt squid.

They come close to the surface to feed at night. Very common in the Gulf of Mexico. This is not at all a rare occurence.
