That footage of a Giant Squid found near Chichi Island - GoFuckYourself.com

cthulhu_waves · 01-07-2013, 09:25 AM

I finally found the footage in Youtube. The critter's been captured on video by NHK and Discovery Channel. The footage was taken in July 2012 and it shows a giant squid in the sea near Chichi island. The squid was spotted at a depth of 630 meters using a submersible in July, some 15 km east of Chichi island in the north Pacific Ocean.

It looks awesome.

Here is the description in Youtube.

Giant Squid Captured on Video for First Time! Giant squid filmed in pacific depths: 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 US Discovery Channel. The massive invertebrate is the stuff of legend, with sightings of a huge ocean-dwelling beast reported by sailors for centuries.The creature is thought to be the genesis of the Nordic legend of Kraken, a sea monster believed to have attacked ships in waters off Scandinavia over the last millennium.Modern-day scientists on their own Moby Dick-style search used a submersible to get them into the dark and cold depths of the northern Pacific Ocean, where at around 630 meters they managed to film a three-meter specimen.After around 100 missions, during which they spent 400 hours in the cramped submarine, the three-man crew tracked the creature from a spot some 15 kilometers (nine miles) east of Chichi island in the north Pacific Ocean. Museum researcher Tsunemi Kubodera said they followed the enormous mollusc to a depth of 900 meters as it swam into the ocean abyss.

Giant squid in its natural habitat. First ever footage

They are very common in the Pacific. They get caught all the time by trawlers. I've seen maybe 1/2 a dozen. I am always a little weirded out with how they are portrayed in the media and acting like they are unicorns or something. BTW... not really edible. Just watery mush.
