Giant Squid Filmed In Natural Habitat For the First Time
First time accepted submitter Edgewood_Dirk writes that a giant squid has been filmed in its natural habitat for the first time. "Scientists and broadcasters have captured footage of an elusive giant squid, up to eight meters (26 feet) long that roams the depths of the Pacific Ocean. Japan's National Science Museum succeeded in filming the deep-sea creature in its natural habitat for the first time, working with Japanese public broadcaster NHK and the U.S. Discovery Channel. The massive invertebrate is the stuff of legend, with sightings of a huge ocean-dwelling beast reported by sailors for centuries.'" The first live footage of a giant squid was captured in 2006 by Japan's National Science Museum researcher, Tsunemi Kubodera, after it was hooked and brought to the surface.
I'm less impressed with the footage of the squid than I am with the Japanese for actually just filming the thing instead of killing it, eating it, than denying any evidence of it ever being there. Did they at least run down one or two environmentalist boats on their way back?
Turns out it was actually Bill Clinton.
