The silvery, 9-foot-long mollusk -- scientists said it could have been up to 26 feet long if its two longest tentacles had not been severed -- was filmed in July off Japan’s Chichi island by a three-man crew from the National Museum of Nature and Science. The scientists followed the creature in their submersible to a depth of more than 2,700 feet as it vanished into the ocean darkness, where oxygen is scarce and pressure is enormous.
Japanese broadcaster NHK showed footage Monday. The squid, with black eyes the size of dinner plates, clutched a bait squid in its remaining arms as it swam against the current.
”It was shining and so beautiful,” researcher Tsunemi Kubodera told AFP. ”I was so thrilled.”
The footage will be part of a Discovery Channel show, Monster Squid: The Giant Is Real, which will air Jan. 27 as the season finale of Curiosity.
Discovery News announced the find last month:
With razor-toothed suckers and eyes the size of dinner plates, tales of this creature have been around since ancient times. The Norse legend of the sea monster the Kraken, and the Scylla from Greek mythology, might have derived from the elusive giant squid.
This massive predator has always been shrouded in secrecy, and every attempt to capture a live giant squid on camera in its natural habitat has failed. Until now.
In 2006, Kubodera said, he filmed what he claimed was the first live video footage of a giant squid as it was hooked and brought aboard his ship.
Known to scientists as Architeuthis, the giants eat other types of squid and grenadier, a deep-sea fish, and can grow to more than 30 feet long and weigh 450 pounds.
