Nanaimoteuthis is an extinct genus of cirrate octopus known from the Late Cretaceous of Canada and Japan, represented entirely by fossilized beaks. The genus was established in 2008 by Kazushige Tanabe and colleagues, with Nanaimoteuthis jeletzkyi designated as the type species. These fossils were first discovered in the Pender Formation of the Nanaimo Group on Vancouver Island, and later additional material was found in the Yezo Group of Hokkaido. In 2026, researchers synonymized the previously separate genus Paleocirroteuthis with Nanaimoteuthis, consolidating several species under this single genus and confirming its placement within cirrate octopuses.

The genus includes two recognized species: N. jeletzkyi and N. haggarti. Earlier estimates based on comparisons with modern vampire squid suggested mantle lengths ranging from roughly 54 to 70 centimeters (21-28 in) for some specimens, with total lengths of up to 2.4 meters (7 ft 10 in). However, more recent analyses of lower jaw fossils revealed that N. haggarti possessed a hood length significantly larger than that of the largest known giant squid, implying a mantle length between 0.67 and 1.84 meters (2 ft 2 in - 6 ft 0 in) and a total body length potentially reaching 7.7 meters (25 ft 3 in). These findings indicate that Nanaimoteuthis species were among the largest octopuses known from the fossil record.

Some estimates—particularly those highlighted in press coverage—suggest that N. haggarti may have reached extraordinary sizes, possibly between 6.6 and 18.6 meters (22 and 61 ft) in total length, rivaling or surpassing modern giant and colossal squids. Although the upper range of these estimates remains debated, the genus clearly represents one of the largest invertebrate predators of the Cretaceous seas. Its powerful beak, preserved in the fossil record, hints at a formidable carnivore capable of preying on fish, crustaceans, and other marine animals, contributing to a more complex picture of ancient marine ecosystems where invertebrates could achieve apex predator status.

#reposting so i remember to research

Happy World ocean day.

#world ocean day

I love your vampire squid drawings, and the amount that youve done!!!!! Youre just like me fr, i doodled vampire squid all the time at the peak of my fixation on them... and even now, i have vampire squid muscle memory

Im even including them in a video project about bioluminescence where ill talk about their defense strategies hehehe

Anyway, its nice to see someone like me out there. I hope you're having a great day x

Awwww thanks<3

(I'd watch it if you do end up deciding to post it, just leave the link somewhere :D )

Question: What do the organs of Vampire squids look like?

The internal organs of a vampire squid (Vampyroteuthis infernalis) are tightly packed within its gelatinous mantle, sharing anatomical traits with both octopuses and true squids. Because they live in oxygen-depleted, high-pressure deep ocean zones, their internal structures are specially adapted for low-energy survival.

Key Internal Organs

Three Hearts:

They possess one central systemic heart to pump blood to the body, and two branchial hearts dedicated to pushing blood through the gills.

Highly Efficient Gills:

Their gills have an unusually large surface area to extract the maximum amount of oxygen from the oxygen minimum zone.

Digestive System:

Food passes through a sharp, black beak into a stomach, which connects to a large, elongated sac called a caecum for nutrient absorption. Unlike true squids, they lack an ink sac because ink is useless in pitch-black water.

Copper-Based Blood:

Their blood contains hemocyanin (a copper-based protein) rather than iron-based hemoglobin, making their oxygenated blood look blue instead of red.

Question: Can vampire squids have beliefs?

No, Vampire squids can not have beliefs, as they lack the complex cerebral cortex required for conscious thought and abstract concepts. While they are highly adapted to their deep-sea environment and display remarkable survival instincts, their behaviors are driven by automatic, evolutionary reflexes rather than personal beliefs.
