国家地理

The colossal squid—one of nature’s most elusive animals, and handily the world’s most massive squid species—was first identified 100 years ago using remains found in the stomach of a sperm whale. Now, one has been filmed alive in its natural oceanic environment for the first time. The nearly one-foot-long juvenile offers scientists a rare glimpse into its unique behaviors and biology.

I hope you guys understand how huge this is! The giant squid was first photographed in 2004 and filmed in 2013. The colossal squid has never been seen alive, only dead specimens.

To set things straight: - The baby is a foot long, "colossal" isn't an adjective here, it's simply the name of the species. Babies grow up. - Colossal squid aren't as long as giant squid, but they're heavier. - Adults live up to 4,000m down. We're not getting a video of one any time soon - This video is a MAJOR deal - This is the first video of one *in its natural habitat*, not the first video of one

Oh my god this is huge for so many reasons. Not only is this footage of a live colossal squid in its natural habitat, it’s a BABY. The life cycles of deep sea creatures aren’t always easy to follow, so this is absolutely remarkable. I love cephalopods so much oh my god

There’s something truly special about preserving the meaning of “handcrafted.” Watching how India continues its time-honored production methods—passed down through generations—is as rich in tradition as it is in beauty. Video by @ranavat
