@FUZZEYMONKEY Did you not hear them? It basically killed itself, he even said "It may seem cruel, but there is no way this thing would love like this" An injured, immature female squid would last maybe, 10 seconds at those depths before it was picked apart by every fish and crustacian sensing it's injury.
@WhiteTiger225 It was stabbed multiple times by picks that keep it above water. It killed itself? lol yeah, okay. Don't believe everything they tell you. It couldnt of been that weak if it fought for 2 hours.It wouldn't be picked apart... nothing would attack something so large and intimidating unless it be a shark, which would look at it as an unknown prey and would probably ignore it as well.
can anybody tell me have these colossal squid only just been discoverd ? or have i jsut been asleep for the past 20 years lol because i watch a lot of documentarys about the sea and things and ive never seen anything or even heard of the colossal squid thats about the biggest sea creture ive eva seen
@johntashable They're a pretty recent discovery, but we've known about its slightly smaller relative the Giant Squid for a long time now. They're just very elusive because they're rare and live at great depths.
@johntashable this video is the first footage of a live one. up till now they've only had dead ones and body parts...
I think it's funny. they finally prove the GIANT squid exists and then the ocean is all "Oh wait, we have something bigger, here ya go! shit your pants now!"
I've always been a big fan of cryptozoology stuff. Anyone else got wind that that Founder of PREHISTORIC CHANNEL has just written his first thriller book called THE ICE GORILLA. I read that the ICE GORILLA book is being looked at by movie producers in regards to turning the book into a movie. This will depend upon how well book sales go. I haven't read the book yet. Has anyone read THE ICE GORILLA book yet????
I have been looking high and low for this video! So glad I found it! When I first saw the pictures from this encounter I could have sworn it was fake, read about it in reliable journals and it blew my mind. There is still hope that a Kraken size squid is down there eating whales and using their ribs as a toothpick. Just hope we find one in my lifetime. Nature is amazing isn't it!
@Raynelm They 100% killed it. I don't fully agree, however it is the largest one ever found and at the time and I am sure they were just thinking about the money and or fame for snaring it! As far as I know living so deep these squid are less affected by man than whales for example, I know it doesn't justify killing it, but at least it's not endangered...yet....
@Raynelm Yeah, guess you're right! Haven't got a clue how many are down there, but I still like the fact that they are out of reach of all our fu*k-ups. We have a habbit, as a race, to destroy and uproot everything near us. Let's just hope we can feed our curiosity of these creatures without destroying them. Not holding out too much hope mind you :(
its not fake its 100% real we saw this clip in a documentry in science its so sad that a creature that beautiful is being slowly tortured by thos people :(
As fascinating as it is, there's something so tragic about watching this young animal die slowly as it's pinned to the boat by spears through its body...
Wanna know whats even scarier? If something like this exists, does that mean Megalodons still exist somewhere out there? I mean things like giant squid and collosal squid could easily be a staple diet for a shark of that size. And hell there may STILL be even more if not bigger things in the oceans.
It's true that we know more about outer space than the ocean, but I doubt there are megalodons swimming down at those depths, and if there WERE, we'd have no reason to be afraid. Not until we start colonising the deepest, darkest bits of the ocean. :)
@SpikesOmega unlikely, the megalodon died out because of the formation of the isthmus of panama which linked north and south america and cut off a major source of transit for nutrients and plankton between the atlantic and pacific oceans. the result was a massive reduction in whale populations, megalodon's primary food source and this was before humans started whaling.
that colossal squid may look huge but much of its mass is made up of water, get rid of the water and it isnt very big
Now that’s a proper nightmare monster of the deep, chunky, viscous looking, and what an incredible colour. Fair fucks to them for landing it as well as they did can you imagine bringing up fish on a calm and dull day, lost in tought about stuff, then lines gets a lot heavier than usual then finally a red blimp with tentacles lashing away breaks the surface.. nahh thats not real.. shit the pants time!
@xight101: this one is an EXTREMELY rare and valuable specimen. It is a junior female that's far from maturity. A matured Colossal Squid is estimated to have a length of 50 fucking feet... -_-|||
On February 22, 2007, it was announced by authorities in New Zealand that the largest known Colossal Squid had been captured. The specimen weighed 495 kg (1,091 lb) and was initially estimated to measure 10 m (33 ft) in total length.
The beak is considerably smaller than some found in the stomachs of sperm whales, suggesting there are Colossal Squid much larger than this one.
@DanteDemon15 no actually its not the largest, Giant Squid are a good deal longer, Colossal Squid are fatter and heavier and supposedly much more aggressive, the largest Squid caught on Record was a Giant Squid and it was 72 feet long
@Lavos2007 realy i didnt new that,i thot the colossal squid was larger but if you say the colossal is more aggressive from the giant isnt the colossal the best?.oh and somthing else tell me if its true that the colossal squid has hook like claws on its tentakles and the giant hase not?
@DanteDemon15 no squid has "hook-like claws" but ALL squid have a ring of small hard/bony teeth on the inside of their suckers which with Giant Squid, those rings of teeth are large enough to scar the skin of Sperm Whales, if you want possibly the worlds most aggressive creature alive today, you need to go do research on Humboldt aka Jumbo Squid, they only get up to like 8 feet long but they are very dangerous to divers, almost all breed of Octopus squid have problem-solving intelligence
@Lavos2007 i aprishiate your anser but i maibe sed somthing wrong,the giant and the colossal squid have both two special tentacles coled tentacle clubs,the tentacle clubs of the giant has circular saw like sucker rings but the colossal is more dangerous bekose it hase on its tentacle clubs swiveling hooks wich inflict more damage to a sperm whale.go rite on google Colossal Squid Anatomy and click the first one on the top and you will see what i mene.
@DanteDemon15 Yes, apparently the C.S is larger than the G.S, but more agrresive? I don't know. But you are right and they do have small teeths lined up on their suckers and sharp-hooks on their limbs.
@TouhouArtist if you wana see a colossal squid fight a sperm whale go rite on you tube colossal squid vs sperm whale and click on the video that is maby in rusian language the video is awesome and probably the only one that shows you a C.S fighting a sperm whale.
The super-rich elite secretly own and operate the world through the mechanisms of governments, media, corporations, institutions and religion. They may be planning a SQUID ALIEN HOAX. I'm talking gigantic, highly-intelligent, bioluminescent, UFO flying squid. The elite will pull ancient artifacts out of the ground and have all kinds of bs evidence. DO NOT BELIEVE THE GOVERNMENT OR THE SQUID OR THE TV OR THE SCIENTISTS - IT'S A TRAP - check my vids on youtube - GOVERNMENT SQUID HOAX
Just imagie something 10-25 times bigger than this... Now, that would scare anyone to get near the water, if not for the fact they live in very deep & cold areas.
Bottom trawling is devastating. But the capturing of this one individual creature could actually benifit the species. Scientists can study it and after one has been captured, awareness of the species can be increased. Hopefully in the long run people will be more educated and we will see no more destructive methods of fishing such as bottom trawling.
Giant or colossal squid's cannot survive anywhere but in very deep and cold water, sometimes hot water pockets can thrust these creature up to the surface where they are unable to return to the deep because their blood does not carry oxygen that well and so sadly and unavoidably they die. U can't catch one thats healthy because u cannot reach it... this animal is pretty save from man in conventional hunting.
Bottom trawling is the most destructive of any actions that humans conduct in the ocean, even though the effects are well documented and has been banned in many places, there are still people bottom trawling and destroying planet earth...Man is earths cancer..
I find it so amazing that creatures like this can live where they do. 6000m down, perpetual darkness, the same pressure as on the surface of venus... Its a completely different world down there.
Beatiful??? Are you people mad? That's the ugliest MF i've ever seen! Imagine seeying this thing while swimming, I would shit my pants 10 times. Damn, who knowns what still lives in the depths of the ocean... I for one don't want to know it.
@TenDuotrigintillion i think the giant squid gets around 2 meters long and the colossal one gets (as far as we know?) 10 meters, but thats just a few minutes of randoming about of google xD
Allen0112 that is a collossul squid as its found in the arctic were as giant squid only found sub arctic n tropic n it wouldnt b at the depth this 1 was at
We argue that the colossal squid is not a voracious predator capable of high-speed predator–prey interactions. It is, rather, an ambush or sit-and-float predator that uses the hooks on its arms and tentacles to ensnare prey that unwittingly approach.
So FUCK any1 thinkin colossal squid is a fearsome n dangerous animal dat needs 2 be eliminated!
The estimated mass-specific routine metabolic rate for the colossal squid at 1.5°C was 0.036 µmol O2 h−1 g−1 and the projected daily energy consumption (45.1 kcal day−1) was almost constant as a function of depth in the nearly isothermal Antarctic waters. Our findings also indicate the squid shows a slow pace of life linked with very low prey requirements (only 0.03 kg of prey per day).
The colossal squid (Mesonychoteuthis hamiltoni) is the world's largest invertebrate and its large size and some unique morphological characters have fuelled speculation that it is an aggressive top predator in the circum-Antarctic Southern Ocean. Here, we present estimates on the metabolic and energetic demands of this cold-water deep-sea giant.
@gotahc You can be more scared now my friend. There is an even larger squid recently found. This one was about 33ft long and 1100Ibs. THE NEW SUPER GIANT comes in at over 97ft in lenght! But it may just be the adult version of the squid in this clip!
@gotahc The super giant was measured at 92ft and 7inches and it was an adolescent! Meaning new species! That could explain how a sperm whale was found with a sucker print that was 2 1/2 ft in diameter. Insane!...
Stupid Idiots. They might aswell kill their friends, it doesn't matter if you kill a creature, but if you kill a human it's *OMG*. I hope they recieve the pain that squid did.
@beaisinteresting oh SHADDUP plz its not like this animal was so fricking helpless either way. besides this find is AMAZING this is the shit u hear about in old stories to actually find one is spectacular boo hoo if it died
I can appreciate the frustration people have at the death of an individual animal as amazing as this one. But its death was unavoidable as soon as it was snagged and brought up to low levels of water pressure that I'm sure would've caused it to expand and die...
That frustration should be directed at the environmental devastation that is posing much greater direct threat to big squid and countless other species. Bottom trawling, overfishing, the expansion of low-O2 "dead zones" caused by pollution. These threats are all very real and have already done irreversible damage yet they continue; with those perpetrating them having no regard for the future they are creating.
@ndexohillVery true, by the way the giant and colossal squids are able to reach surface water without dying. Is that the net brings them up to quick so the fast pressure change kills them. Seems this one was missing its famous tentacles maybe the males or females are different who knows.
What the heck does he mean "It's legs don't seem to be that long." ITS A COLOSSAL SQUID. Of course they are long. Besides squids don't have legs they have TENTACLES. Gosh, for a fishing captain he obviously doesn't know much about BASIC marine biology.
why are they poking it with sticks,just leave it alone.

We argue that the colossal squid is not a voracious predator capable of high-speed predator–prey interactions. It is, rather, an ambush or sit-and-float predator that uses the hooks on its arms and tentacles to ensnare prey that unwittingly approach.
So FUCK any1 thinkin colossal squid is a fearsome n dangerous animal dat needs 2 be eliminated!
Allosaurus333 1 year ago
The estimated mass-specific routine metabolic rate for the colossal squid at 1.5°C was 0.036 µmol O2 h−1 g−1 and the projected daily energy consumption (45.1 kcal day−1) was almost constant as a function of depth in the nearly isothermal Antarctic waters. Our findings also indicate the squid shows a slow pace of life linked with very low prey requirements (only 0.03 kg of prey per day).

The colossal squid (Mesonychoteuthis hamiltoni) is the world's largest invertebrate and its large size and some unique morphological characters have fuelled speculation that it is an aggressive top predator in the circum-Antarctic Southern Ocean. Here, we present estimates on the metabolic and energetic demands of this cold-water deep-sea giant.

@gotahc You can be more scared now my friend. There is an even larger squid recently found. This one was about 33ft long and 1100Ibs. THE NEW SUPER GIANT comes in at over 97ft in lenght! But it may just be the adult version of the squid in this clip!

@bujoun76 gee, thank you for exercerbating my fears. lol. 97ft is pretty impressive!
gotahc 1 year ago
@gotahc The super giant was measured at 92ft and 7inches and it was an adolescent! Meaning new species! That could explain how a sperm whale was found with a sucker print that was 2 1/2 ft in diameter. Insane!...

I can appreciate the frustration people have at the death of an individual animal as amazing as this one. But its death was unavoidable as soon as it was snagged and brought up to low levels of water pressure that I'm sure would've caused it to expand and die...
ndexohill 1 year ago 54
That frustration should be directed at the environmental devastation that is posing much greater direct threat to big squid and countless other species. Bottom trawling, overfishing, the expansion of low-O2 "dead zones" caused by pollution. These threats are all very real and have already done irreversible damage yet they continue; with those perpetrating them having no regard for the future they are creating.

@ndexohillVery true, by the way the giant and colossal squids are able to reach surface water without dying. Is that the net brings them up to quick so the fast pressure change kills them. Seems this one was missing its famous tentacles maybe the males or females are different who knows.

@ndexohill - the colossal squid feeds at the surface where it is cold enough, in the antarctic, it can feed at the surface.

What the heck does he mean "It's legs don't seem to be that long." ITS A COLOSSAL SQUID. Of course they are long. Besides squids don't have legs they have TENTACLES. Gosh, for a fishing captain he obviously doesn't know much about BASIC marine biology.
