Giant Squid — EYE: Eye bigger than its own brain | Benthos Error

Its eyes are bigger than its own brain — and we didn't see one alive until 2004.

The giant squid carries dinner-plate eyes, each 30 cm wide, built to hunt in total darkness. We reached the Moon in 1969, but a living *Architeuthis* wasn't filmed until 35 years later. Its blood runs blue and cold, copper-based chemistry designed to carry oxygen where iron blood would simply freeze.
