[anne123480]

it looks if it belongs in the movie Avatar

[hotlikefireee]

i dont like itttt

[llamacopter677]

this is a humboldt squid a giant squid would be much bigger and if it was it would be all over the news

[RedNut666]

not only is it not a giant squid it is also not bioluminescent, that was uv reactive.

[YamiPoyo]

@RedNut666 Not only is it not a giant squid , or bioluminescent, its also not uv reactive this was fake, cgi model.

[NinetiesYouth]

that isn't a giant squid. there's only one video of it and even that one is unclear. this is probably a humboldt.

[makaiallensmith]

Hey guys i just put a video up of this same thing in hong kong!!!!! Its pretty awesome you should all check it out and subscribe!!

[Wirrn]

I don't think that's bioluminescence, isn't that just a birght light on the camera?

[xor12]

@Wirrn

Yeah, I agree with you.

Even if these squids are bioluminescent that isn´t ivisble on this video.

[badassbit]

Hahaha! could you imagine this thing coming at you all rude like that!!?????

[bugabugaman]

To the "giant squid": you sir, you FAILED not once but twice!

[tobiasjhn]

This is really cool! You should check out my Bioluminescence video from Hong Kong, we got them to glow really bright by throwing a huge rock in the water!

[GuessingMental]

humboldt squid?

[hitheresunshine]

Totally missed the target! Twice!!! XD

[riceicles123]

This is a Dana Octopus-Squid actually

[deepoceanfan]

that was a humbolt squid. they are deep sea dwelling and are around a meter long. nice post ive never seen this vid before

[Natalie2901]

An actual live giant squid was never recorded until fairly recently, by a Japanese team. It lost tentacle in its struggle. That is my memory of the news story.

[A4ANT]

No, in monster quest 2007 they strapped a camera to a big squid (30 inches long) and let it go deep down. The video picked up a massive squid....

This video is like a reconstruction of what happened.

[hell5309]

@A4ANT Actually, I think this video is a reconstruction of what happened when a Japanese research ship took pictures of an architeuthis whose whip got snagged on the boom.

[burningeko]

they are using new HD deep water cameras to catch the action, no enhancement.

that is so scary i am never going swimming again. i always thought squid swam like they were doing the breathe stroke, you know, with the tentacles behind

[13Naru13]

Hmmmm, compare this to "Monster Glowing Squid Caught on Camera" posted by 01067571512. Inhanced or not, it's cool.

[blackpager]

thats super kewl!

[Metallicagab]

That wasn't a giant squid! The squid are transparent in the twilight zone (where no sun shines) That was a transparent squid.

[stacylm5]

Giant squid live more at the point in between the part of the ocean which gets no sun, and the part that does..so they can be seen in both places

[9TayTay9]

Actually, he's right. This is Taningia danae, a different species.

[blackpager]

giant squids are transparent

[aefirpo]

That's so fake I can't even stand it.

[icesk81]

amazing

[LouisianaGatorGirl]

Fantastic! Where was this video taken?

[haroldtampa]

That thing is remarkably agile. Great scene.

[ErgonomicChair]

Hehe it was a little sped up but yeah it still is.

[MasterofWorms]

Awesome.

[TapatiaCampeon]
