Today on Wonder, we’re traveling hundreds of meters below the ocean's surface to visit one of its most unusual residents: the vampire squid. Neither a vampire nor a squid, this curious creature looks unlike any other on Earth. With eight reddish arms connected to a webbed cloak, the vampire squid strikes a strangely elegant figure in the deepest depths of tropical oceans. In this episode, you’ll be immersed in serene waters as deep as 900 meters below the surface, your path ahead lit only by bioluminescence. It’s time to put on your headphones, close your eyes, and take five minutes to yourself — to breathe, learn, and wonder.
