@mocrumbo There are records of large squids pulling sailors off their life rafts in WW1 and WW2 never to be seen again. Not exactly harmless.

@Plasmapocky So true. Problem with that is; if any dangerous unknown larger animal were to come into contact with us, it may end up the other way around. You may think it is easy to kill sea creatures, but its not.

Breath taking footage! Stunning, beautiful animals! I am awed by the amazing creatures we share this planet with. All the more reason to take good care of mother Earth!!

Humboldt squid are very agressive, the light attracts them in so they can be filmed close up. Once they realize that the diver is to big to eat they let go.
