Bizarre 'vampire squid from hell' feeds off corpses of sea creatures
Description: Although it was discovered over a century ago, the so-called vampire squid remains one of the ocean's most mysterious creatures. The creature is part of a group of animals known as "detritivores" that feast on a diet of detritus and waste that might make the typical human cringe. The primary diet of "marine snow" sounds relatively benign, but it is made up of a mixture of dead sea creatures, snot and feces. [Source: AOL News]
