A female with the two tentacles bifurcated was found within a sample of 54 specimens of Moroteuthis ingens collected by a Spanish trawler fishing in the South Atlantic around the Falklands Islands during the austral spring of 2004. This is the first case of double tentacle bifurcation reported for this oegopsid squid and also for cephalopods. In spite of the lack of normal tentacles, the specimen does not show signs of malnutrition. Potential causes for this anomaly, implications to the feeding behaviour of the animal and the regeneration process are discussed.
