Q. Recently, scientists found a 'rare vampire squid' in the deep waters of which sea?
Answer: South China Sea
Notes: Recently, scientists discovered a rare vampire squid, the second known living species, in the South China Sea. This 12-inch cephalopod inhabits tropical and subtropical oceans at depths of 300-3000m, primarily 1500-2500m, in low-oxygen zones. It features black and reddish-brown chromatophores, large photophores for bioluminescence, and the largest eyes proportionally among animals. Vampire squids are scavengers, feeding on feces and dead animals in the deep sea.
