Squid Suckers: a false-colour microscope image of the suction cups on the arm of the Loligo pealei squid. The 400 micrometer suckers have chitin "fangs" and were photographed by Jessica D. Schiffman and Caroline L. Schauer, Drexel University.

thanks for posting this link: it is great!
(I also love that instead of an hourglass or clock to wait for the map to come up it is a globe).

A complementary website that uses data from OBIS is www.aquamaps.org. OBIS publishes datasets that include locations of where species have been recorded, which is a subset of all known locations, and of course only a fraction of the oceans have been sampled and observed even if all of time is considered. AquaMaps shows the probably distribution of a species based on environmental conditions.
