The Vampire Squid Solved Extinction By Leaving The Ecosystem

Описание: Discover the incredible survival story of the vampire squid from hell - a creature that solved mass extinction by abandoning everything and retreating to Earth's most hostile environment. When 75% of all life perished, including the dinosaurs, these remarkable deep-sea dwellers made a choice that defied every survival instinct: they gave up the fight entirely and found refuge in the ocean's oxygen minimum zone. For over 30 million years, they've thrived in complete darkness, crushing pressure, and near-freezing temperatures where no other complex life can survive.
