Hola muy buenas imagenes, los felicito, saben necesito usar 5 segundos de sus imagenes de Humboldt Squid en un video corporativo de la pesca de jibia (Humboldt Squid) en Chile, podría? de antemano muchas gracias
@subtheo YES!! When you are down there with many of them it looks as if they are performing some kind of dance, some kind of rare choreography. And what makes it even more strange is that it is in total silence. Very very beautiful!
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
Wow the shots of them hunting are totally stunning. I read somewhere that these creatures hunt cooperatively and that the rapid skin color changes are actually a very complex communication system. What do you think? Great work man keep it up!
Hmm... actually that would be an interesting thing to prove, that they hunt cooperatively. I can not say myself. I do remember seeing they seemed to be comunicating by changing colors longitudinally. But my sensation was that they were telling the others "im going now" or something like that. I will be more attentive next time I see them hunting. I have not been with them for way too long!
@Nocturne9999 they do communicate with each other by flashing colors, their pattern of repeating Red>White>Red supposedly signals of danger to the other Humboldts
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Those are not humbolt or however you spell it they would of killed the camera man if they were and they change from red to white in a second so I didn't see that
They are awesome interesting animals. And very beautiful to look at. They are also curious, which for me is a sign of intelligence. Once I had two small squids (not humboldts) checking me out, It was freakish to feel observed so intensely by two creatures that are not human!
Its really good to see a video that shares same views i have on squid, that they are inquisitive and mean no harm and just want to hunt for fish. The only attacks ever reported are on fisherman in japan who are shocked that the squid is angered by them stabbing it with sharp hooks!...
Most people dont stop telling me -- in spite of the video-- that it is dangerous to dive with these squids, and that Im crazy doing it without some kind of body armor. So, same here: good to find people that dont think of these squids as some kind of mindless crazy predators!
You want to dive into these creatures' habitats without protection, that's YOUR choice and if you become an unfortunate target of their feeding when they're hungry, then good luck to you. I prefer to listen to the true experts on their behaviour and have studied them for years than to assume for myself that they're safe to mingle with in the water, like what you and the video poster has done. Oh and let's not forget the cases of humboldt squid attacks.
That is a kind of trip that Baja Expeditions is planning to do next year! If you are interested in doing it, let me know and I would go as divemsater!!!!! Im dying to go back see those wonderful creatures!
I was be sh*tting myself!! Do you mind if you film them and I watch them from here? I'm a diver but I'm more into pretty coral and colourful fish - though there is a strange curiosity about Humboldts and deep water fish, I'm just too scared to go look for them myself!!
Great work though, we need people like you to research these creatures so people like us can learn about them.
I know, I know! Hahahaha! Is tempting to me too, but I swear that I have spent so much time watching the face of underwater animals that I try to avoid eating them as much as possible!
Best squid video I've ever seen. Bet it was a decompression dive though. I'm not at that level yet because I only get to dive once a year on vacation, if that.
I've seen other video with the squid investigating the camera. You won't find any other invertebrate besides a cephalopod that is capable of curiosity. Perhaps the camera is interesting to them because squid have such advanced eyes...maybe they think the lens is an eye of another squid.
Actually we never went into deco because we were very shallow, most of the time we never went beyond 10mts (30ft). And you are right, the cephalopods might be the only invertebrates capable of curiosity. For me that is a sight of intelligence. I have had small squids investigate me and the effect on me was so strong that I could not eat squid anymore!
3600 razor sharp barbs on their tentacles, and a beak strong enough to rip a hole in you and kill you in one bite? You must be crazy to dive with those things. Awesome vid tho.
Do you ever consider diving with those squids? (if you are a diver) They are awesome and mesmerizing in real life. And yea, the Massive Attack music is great and mixed nicely with the images!
Your ignorance and fear make you call me stupid. That is Ok, I understand you. I have been surrouded by many of those squids without problem. We have fed them by hand even. I dont think they will rip an arm of no one. No reason to. Check your ignorance and fear anyway, those two can make people cruel towards many kinds of animals that dont seek to harm us.
Dude, you are the pot calling the kettle black. I have no fear of them because I'm not stupid enough to go diving with them. As I stated above, I've seen tons of videos of humbolts attacking divers and each other, so don't tell me they aren't dangerous. But if you want to be squid snack, knock yourself out.
Otro exelente video, he visto a estos animales varias veces pero no me atrevi abucear con ellos. Luego de ver tu video, de seguro que la proxima vez me voy al agua con las jivias.
Sure. We are too big for them. I think the times they have entered in contact with people is because, in the darkness, they might have seen shiny things on those people that made them think it was a small fish. The night we filmed these videos there was a lot of light, the squid could see us very well. They were definitely curious. Most of them kept a distance, but some wanted to touch our masks, our lights or other silver shiny things. Once they felt it is not food, they let go.
Actually not really. I know that is the idea everybody have, but they are not what most people think. We have been surrounded by hundreds of them without any problem. One of my friends was recently feeding them by hand and caressing them. They have been checking me and they were very gentle. They eat very small animals, like crabs and sardines, or fish small like sardines, as you see in the video. Their bad reputation is undeserved.
Well they are very intelligent. Do you think they're so calm around you and your group because they can recognize that you're definitely not what they're interested in? Like they realize you're not food?
I've seen at least three videos of one of them eating another one that was being hauled up to the surface, taking big horking chunks out of it. I've also seen tons of video of them attacking divers, biting them.
Did you film those clips without a cage or body armor? If so, how do you walk with balls that tremendously clanking huge? I had one of those monsters drag me 30m straight down before I killed it. The wound it gave me took 5 weeks to heal, and there does not exist enough money to entice me to swim with any number of them unless I am surrounded by steel mesh.
Hahahahaha! That is quite a story! How did you kill it? Where were you diving? Where did it grab you? And no, I dont consider myself particularly courageous! I just love those squids I find rather kind and curious and extremely beautiful!
2:30 is my favourite part.

You dive into their habitat without wearing a chainmail suit?
You might want to take a little more precaution. A pack of those things can kill a human being if they in a feeding frenzy.

though, with Humboldt squid, you need to be careful enough so that they dont eat YOU instead.
Because they can be nasty little things if you are not careful around them
