The image is intended to show: (a) the size of the specimen before it shrunk due to freezing/preservation (it was originally estimated to be around 10 m long, but after thawing was found to measure only 4.2 m); (b) the characteristic shape of the adult animal, of which this is the only known specimen, particularly its greatly inflated mantle (which is completely collapsed in the preserved specimen); (c) the appearance of the intact red skin of this species (the skin is always lost/damaged during capture - see preserved specimens); and (d) the method of capture with the use of spears. |
