Googly-eyed Stubby Squid so cute
The team spotted this Stubby Squid off the coast of California at a depth of 900 meters (2,950 feet). The stubby squid (Rossia pacifica) looks like a cross between an octopus and squid, but is more closely related to cuttlefish. This species spends life on the seafloor, activating a sticky mucus jacket and burrowing into the sediment to camouflage, leaving their eyes poking out to spot prey like shrimp and small fish. Rossia pacifica is found in the Northern Pacific from Japan to Southern California, most commonly seen up to 300m deep, but specimens have been collected at 1000m depth.

About time someone rescues JJ's daughter's (let's just call her Jenny, since we don't know her name) toy, because it sure looks so sad lying down there on the ocean floor all alone

Hmmm....I thought "purple people eaters" were much bigger than that. Maybe thats its smaller cousin.

#2 Don't fret Thunders I have a cunning plan! Next time I go that way on a cruise I'm going to invite Suxi and at the given signal (with a bit of pushing struggling and attachment of the anchor) Jenny's (since I haven't given her real name) toy, will have someone to play with it again on the ocean floor.
