Live giant squid caught on camera
A live, adult giant squid has been caught on camera in the wild for the very first time. Japanese researchers took pictures of the elusive creature hunting 900m down, enveloping its prey by coiling its tentacles into a ball. The images show giant squid, known as Architeuthis, are more vigorous hunters than has been supposed. The images, captured in the Pacific Ocean, appear in the journal Proceedings of the Royal Society B. Very cool, pictures at the link |
