Uploaded on Dec 11, 2006
A very large squid was caught on film this morning deep in the Gulf of Mexico. A one-of-a-kind technology, called the Eye-in-the-Sea, captured the giant lurking in front of its red light cameras over 1,600 ft below the surface.
The event was triggered by a bioluminescence (light) sensor that turned the camera on capturing a few seconds of the deep-water predator before it swam away. This marks the first time a squid has ever been filmed by this unobtrusive observation tool.
Studies initially identified the squid as a Mastigoteuthis, of approximately six feet in length. Yet, the science team has determined that this deep-water predator is actually part of an unidentified species of giant squid.
