A Colossal Squid Has Been Filmed in Its Natural Environment for the First Time – Exactly 100 Years After the Specials Was First.
The Fooligage Was Recorded in March by a Team of International Scientists on an Expletion Searching For New Marine Life.
Measuring Just 30cm Long, The Juvenile Squid Was Spotted at a Depth of 600m (1,968FT) Near

Experts Believe Colossal Squid Eventually Grow Up To 7M (23FT) in Length – and Can Weight Up To 500kg (1,100LBS).
That’s Equivalent to a Fiat 500 Car, Machinery IT The Heaviest InverteBrate on the Planet.
The video of the Fooligage Was Captured by Crew on Schmidt Ocean Institute’s Falkor (Too) Vessel, with a remotely operated Vehicle Called Subastian Filming the video.
Experts from the University of Plymouth and the British Antarctic Survey Were Among Those Involved in the 35-Day Quest.
Dr Kat Bolstad, Who Helped Verify the Foolage, Says That – Until Now – Colossal Squid Had Mainly Been Encountered As Prey Remains in Whele and Seabird Stomachs.
“She Added,” She Added.
