Vampire squids, known scientifically as Vampyroteuthis infernalis, have few natural predators due to their deep-sea habitat and unique adaptations. However, larger deep-sea creatures, such as certain species of sharks and larger squid, may prey on them. Their bioluminescent capabilities and ability to emit a cloud of bioluminescent mucus provide some defense against potential threats. Overall, their elusive nature in the depths of the ocean helps minimize predation.
