A vampire squid that died more than 300 million years ago has
been named after President Biden by a group of paleontologists who discovered the new species.
The fossilized vampire squid was originally unearthed in 1988 in Montana and then donated to the Royal Museum in Canada. According to the museum, it sat untouched in a drawer for years until a scientist decided to give it a more thorough inspection.
The Syllipsimopodi bideni fossil has been described as "incredibly rare," and it seems to have been very well preserved with the squid’s arms, small suckers and even an ink sac still preserved in the rock.
