Giant Squid Caught on Film

Posted by ScuttleMonkey on from the science-out-of-science-fiction dept.

caffeined writes "I think almost every geek's heart must skip a beat when they hear about giant squids (think "Jules Verne"). It appears the two Japanese researchers have managed (for the first time) to get actual footage of a live giant squid in action. It was "only" 26 feet long (a little more than 8m) which is big enough for me." Update: Pictures and no registration required at National Geographic.

    Sounds like a fun group to belong - rather like the 'Nebraska Prime Beef Watching Assocation' isn't it?

    Why watch when you can eat?
