“Upon returning from the reef after a night dive, I swam toward a bright reflection and came eye-to-eye with this beautiful, curious squid," said Charles Viggers, a Nature's Best photographer.

They may not be as picturesque as Viggers's image, but we have other photos and videos of cephalopods on the Ocean Portal. You can catch a glimpse of a giant squid eye, watch a dumbo octopod swim, and hear Smithsonian zoologist Dr. Clyde Roper discuss the over-sized anatomy of the giant squid.
