26ft giant squid footage captured

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.
They spotted the squid at a depth of 2,067 feet using a submersible in July, some nine miles east of Chichi island in the north Pacific Ocean.
The submarine with three people on board, including Tsunemi Kubodera from the museum, followed the enormous mollusc to a depth of 2,950ft (900 metres) as it swam into the ocean abyss.
NHK showed footage of the silver-coloured creature, which had huge black eyes, as it swam against the current, holding a bait squid in its arms against the backdrop of dark oceanic depths.
The creature was about three metres long, but "estimated to be as long as eight metres if its two long arms had not been chopped off", Mr Kubodera said.

That looks pretty gross.... But of course it'd be Japan who would find it, guess they're probably gonna try to hunt it and eat it after..
