One of the ocean’s most mysterious creatures–the colossal squid–was finally caught on video in its natural habitat.
The young squid was about 1 foot long, spotted 600 meters deep in the dark ocean by a robotic submersible. Adult colossal squids can grow up to 23 feet long and live in extreme depths. Ever since the species was identified 100 years ago, humans had never seen one alive in its home–until now.
This successful sighting reminds us how much of the ocean remains undiscovered, and it can inspire future marine research to find other “hidden” giants of the deep.
Imagine in the year 2037 advanced deep-sea viewing submarines could let entire school classes safely observe the incredible underwater world, where colossal squids fight with sperm whales. Now the only question is: how are you going to get to Antarctica?
