Mysterious world of the colossal squid

- Descend deep into the dark, cold Southern Ocean and check out the mysterious world of the colossal squid.
The top of the ocean is light and warm, and abundant with life. But if you head down a kilometre or more, you'd be in the dark, cold ocean deep. More people have been into space than have gone down deep below the ocean surface, yet it's the largest habitat available for life on Earth.
The colossal squid, the most massive invertebrate on the planet, makes its home in these cold depths of the Southern Ocean.
You can view this video in 3D at the Colossal Squid exhibition in the Museum of New Zealand Te Papa Tongarewa.

Colossal squids are so weird. I really wish there was more footage of them because they are so awesome
Yeah
Yea this animal is fascinating. We can only hope one day some boat will accidentally pull one up
That's what the story in this video is showing.
A fishing boat pulled one up
@@96_stars22 many giant squids have been spotted in many coasts in counties like Japan and Mexico but theose were sick, what you mean is a giant squid in its natural habitat and healthy
@@franzperales5173 a giant squid is not the same as a colossal squid
Some animals don't get much attention including the Colossal Squid but the way this animal is portrayed in this great animation is amazing.
They cant, there is no footage of a collossal squid alive in its habitat.
They get plenty of attention, just that we haven't seen them alive so we can only speculate.
@@heuvelke1065hell there’s no video of a live colossal squid
@@ChildDevourer83yes there are. But on surface
As both an aspiring 3d modeler/animator and someone interested in undersea life, I deeply enjoyed this.
Haha...... DEEP-ly!!!!!!
@@Deutalios818 haha 6 years ago haha
Deep
Agree,
I hope they make a HD remaster of this.
They'll definitely did a good job. Very accurate to the actual creatures.
thats going to be a fun surprise for the fishermen
it was. The squid was dead when is came to the surface. it now resides at Te Papa museum in Wellington New Zealand. This is a 3D short film they show there.
What Rrobcher said.
The Colossal squid was indeed alive when on the surface, but it expired shortly after, probably because of having been brought up from great depth.
@@Gunners_Mate_Guns aw man :(
@@mallorieevans588it was most likely dead because of the lower pressure at the surface. They live in much deeper water where the pressure is much higher. I believe that they can't survive at lower pressure
@@wioiso I did some digging and their body composition actually allows them to survive at lower pressures but the thing is...when they swim to the surface they do it so slow that there is no decompression for them.
So when the squid got fished he was brought to the surface at an alarming speed which caused the decompression which led to its death
I hope we'll be able to record a live colossal squid in its natural habitat. That's never been done before, unlike with the giant squid.
Yes, as colossal squid are more rare than giant squid.
Even giant squid live native habitat footage is extremely rare with less than 5 examples yet recorded.
I don’t it would happen anytime soon, their climate is to extreme for research vessels
So deep in the sea, there would be almost no light to capture a footage. I think these ones even below the twilight zone, making it pitch black. Also, night vision googles can only work when there’s another spectrum of light, which would share the same fate as visible light spectrum I suppose
@@FerrexShelby-ed9hglmao no they are not. A giant squid is much larger than the collosal squid. A giant squid has never been seen before alive. A collosal squid was seen before
I dont think people realize the scarcity out of its beauty, and how scary it is let alone... This is a 30-40+ foot tadpole with a beak that can rip flesh with ease, has giant tentacles and spidey senses
wtf is foot what kind of measurement is that
@@floof6896 you're American aren't you?
@@dagakotowaru6118 nah i use common sense (im filipino)
Lmao dude! 😂 So you think that YOU are that much smarter than anyone else and so youuuu do realize it, but the rest of us just isn't as smart as you and can't realize it? How ridiculous 😂
That moment when you search for colossal squid and only find giant squid videos -_-
Ikr
Actually this is about colossal squid not giant squid :/
Yep...
@DJ SQUISHEE I think he was just stating it was hard to find videos of colossal squid, not that this was about giant squid.
they`re rare creatures, thats why there is little evidence or footage of them
Beautiful video. The Sperm Whale and the Colossal Squid, two of the most magnificent creatures ever to live on Earth, and epic is their battle to survive.
+Alexandre Araujo Andrade da Silva Against the Japanese?
🐋vs🦑
The what?
It's giant squids that battle sperm whales.
@@dihainthegreat its both of them, they fight giant and colossal squids they don’t just fight 1 specific one
That really was a beautiful video, wonderfully crafted. Haunting and creepy in parts but the best images we will probably ever see of a colossal squid in it's natural habitat doing its thing
Its not real footage tho
@@zion2794 the guy means that this is closest we will ever see of a colossal squid
NO WE GOT SOME FOOTAGE FOR REAL!!
There is actual footage of a 500kg colossal squid being captured in the southern ocean. Te papa have the footage and the actual squid. This crappy animation is a disgrace
@@spacesinga2764 no they have actual footage, and the bloody squid!
it's scary as shit and majestic at the same time ._.
Squids are pretty majestic, no?
Yep

Sperm Whale: Oh hello there! I see you got my meal for me. THANKS!
LOL!
Sperms whales love to eat giant squid

The Sperm Whale loves his squid in all shapes and sizes.
Sperm whale: uhh thanks for the meal I was about to eat you but not anymore but thanks
Squid: (dose not under stand english
1:27 that is cute with the music
LOL 😆
Emerald2337Blues yea...ik the eyeball of that weird creature of the colossal squid
2:52 that one friend that always steals your food
Nah he meant to go for the Squid, they love eating Colossal Squid for breakfast
Sperm whale: I eat squids!
The colosal squid: you’ve yeed your last haw
Oh how about 50 colossal squid versus 25 megalodon
samooh ali I agree
Hey the best Santa monster
@@siswoyoyoso5502 no I am the king of the space
Megladon because sperm whales still eat colossal squids
I like how it shows the food chain
lanterfish->toothfish->colossal squid->sperm whale->human
then it shows a lanternfish eating a baby colossal squid to complete the food cycle.
Yep... unfortunately... Us at the top 🙄
@Malicious Troll i forgot what this while comment was about 🤣🤣
So if I eat you, you are okay with that? It's the food chain.
@@DrTiggy666 Let me guess, you're 'murican?
Ding dong so long they call it long schlong females squid dies after giving birth and it may hurt their body’s due to the males arm has spikes
4:01 scared the shiut out of me!
Fantastic. The gradations in the water are probably the limitations of youtube compression. Some stuff gets beat up, other stuff doesn't.
I wonder about uploading my old animations again to see if things have improved.
omg.. this brings back so many nostalgic memories from going to te papa when I was little .. too bad they removed the 3d film exhibit
this was my childhood when I watched it… good memories
THANKYOU!!! That was so well put together. It's the best of anything ever tried on the subject. The amazon and respected Collossal Squid!!
I don't know if you live in New Zealand, but in the Te Papa museum, you can see the Collosal Squid this was based off of. :)
Its hard to imagine that somewhere in the deep, thousands, perhaps millions of colossal squid congregate, breed and live. The same for the giant. I read they believe sperm whales consume squid in the millions each year and yet we have rarely filmed them and never studied their habits. I'd love to have a sub that would allow me to go down into where e think they live and stay down for as long as it took. I wish we could attach cameras to sperm whales that could see in the dark and last for a few dives. I've seen a couple videos like that, but none could really see what was going on. Really fascinates me no end.😅
for real, even more fascinating knowing there are so many other creatures we haven’t even discovered yet. really is another world down there
Great computer animation.👍.
I LOVE SQUIDS
Cephalopods
Fascinating creatures indeed!
Me too, especially giants and collosals🎉❤😮😊🥳🎈
I love Colossal Squid 🦑
Me too

@Is this a Woomy the colossal squid is bigger and longer
Don't forget to watch the video
Same.
Me too
Looks like a pair of headlights
I love how most story’s depict them as a thin but long and large squid, when really there just a jacked up version of the giant squid.
Saw this when it first came out at Te Papa. Being right up close to the screen with the 3D glasses when it grabs the fish is no joke...
Wonderful. A real pleasure to watch your cunning journey through the life of one very unfortunate specimen. Your vignette segues directly into that authentic footage segment that was so widely disseminated a year or two back, so well, in fact, that the two together might form an even more powerful, seamless, whole, if stripped/pasted together. In any case, a great post and a fine work of cinematic art.
Can you answer this question?
If you will I support you
The question is I know that you are very older than me
What will be the reason find it out
Due 27th - 31st
Suddenly living in the middle of a desert doesn't seem so bad
unless if it’s a giant sandworm like from dune.
Wow i Remember Watching This Animation on YT when i was a Kid…
The Memories are Real !
imagine snorkeling and that shit pops up out of nowhere
*Thalassophobia intenseifies*
Fucking snatches you
As a squid lover, i enjoyed this.
WOW......BEAUTIFUL ANIMATION!!!!!!!!!!11
and music too!!
Amberlewis Gaming ya
In most departments yes
Nice, an animated movie on the colossal squid that doesn't involve it getting eaten by a sperm whale.
Everybody gangsta till u hear tick tick tick tick tick tick
2:33 that squid scared the life out of me
1:42 me leaving my room for the first time in 7 days
some of the shots they captured are amazing
I know lots of people are going to ridicule the old style animation, but the squid attacks are actually nearly perfectly accurate representations of how we now know that squids snare their prey.
I would really love to see an IMAX 3D documentary featuring this same video with improved VFX, I would be more than happy to watch 10 of these at a GT IMAX theatre
damn nature i'm really scary
Why are you scary???
Mananag Ki Vato he just is
I have never been more terrified in my life than seeing hubert wasserman
We need a video of the colossal squid in a fractal universe ocean, one of those brilliant Mandelbrot zoom-ins populated by fractal-point cephalopods...
sperm whale: oh hello can i order some GIANT calmari plese
No buddy, just the tooth fish left
Fast food worker: Sorry, were Out of Colossal Squid but we have toothfish!
Dang it
PokeARK Kid colossal*
I love these replies
3:10 2 squids
and the death of one
that was freakin cool. loved the sperm whale part.
love it
2:12 top 10 scenes from horror movies
I always thought squids only had one eye
Nah, 2 eyes that they can't move, just frickin huge to account for the low light.
I remember watching this as a kid
me too
good time heh
I saw in LEGO masters that they built a colossal squid 🦑.
lol
Cool
Ah yes a man of culture I see
Colossal squid is my favourite 😍 deep sea animal .
seeing this in 3d as a kid was terrifying
4:31 as we know what will happen to it next
Now we are going to need a colossal fryer. Call it a Squid Pro Quo.
Fine dining like no other, ammonia calamari

0:34 what kind of jellyfish is that ? (If it exsicts in real life)
John Gaming123 possibly search it up DO Some research
Aeginura grimaldii
Atolla jellyfish
The colossal squid is the reason I love the ocean now
The colossal squid is the reason i'm scared of the ocean now.
@@thnhbinhjack52 ahhahaha that’s fair enough but I think it’s fascinating that creatures like this actually exist
I love this vid.
I *DEEPLY* love this.
Ha deep
This would make a good video of the life of a Colossal Squid!
And now we return to, Keep up with the squidations! Ok the ratings are up! They ate the Kardations! Yay
OK! This is brilliant, as a line, that is!
lol
Well, it's an interesting idea for a story for say: fictionpress.

I can't stop watching this! Also this was 7 yrs ago ive never watched it before ;-;
Lmao when I saw this when I was 6, it looked super realistic
a colossal squid is a beauty of art
I love the eyes of the colossal squid
The normal humboldt squids are a menace. I would hate to meet a giant one.
There actually is live footage of a colossal squid.. A fishing vessel caught one while fishing.. It came up attached to their line feeding on I believe a Tooth Fish?? It was caught in December in the Ross sea of Antarctica. It's remains are now on display in a museum I think.
This is a dramatization of how the squid acts which they show in Te Papa. The channel who posted this is Te Papa.
mattlonglade14 animation plus the colossal squid is real
Why are the squids eyes made of headlights? I know bioluminescence is a thing, but I'm 100% sure Squid eyes don't project beams of light.
Ah yes,the magnificent colasal,op it's eaten by a sperm whale
Welp
TODAY'S SPONSOR IS RAID-
Everyone reading this comment would need to be like
2:19
yo shoutout to the cameraman
collasal squid is bigger than giant squid
i agree
While colossal squid is mor massive it is not as long, the giant's tentacles make up most of it's length.
*Colossal
*thiccer*
Yes
props to the guy being seen from the colossal squid and making it not go away
Ugh. Came looking for legit oceanic footage. Got crappy 2001 computer animation instead. Sigh.
Your inability to recognize such animation through the thumbnail upsets me.
Sigh.
Beter then nothing.
I don't think there is any footage of a live colossal squid :/
psychoticmortacarn It's a misleading thumbnail. A title such as "Animated depiction of colossal squid" would be much more accurate.
+SanbaiSan I come from New Zealand too. But I agree with you. This is very poor, which is typical of Te Papa as it has become a kiddies theme park with little genuine academia going on.
Exactly what I was looking for 3 days!
2:35 Sounds like the Minecraft eating noise.
the squid looks so innocent and harmless....whale and humans are the bad guys in this video XD
The whales..not rly it's just ecosystem, as for the humans...haven't we realized we're a dick to nature?
+Sakunto Paksi Some of us have, majority are still ignorant and believe in religion, as if praying will help.
+PuroYO So your saying believing in religion makes you automatically destroy the environment and being an atheist makes you instantly save it?
Wow I'm going to have to start doing the shit my atheist neighbor does like burn tires. Was helping my other neighbor a devoted christian plant tree's and shit but thats for suckers.
valcan321 You have to understand that atheists can't go 30 seconds without proclaiming how much they hate anyone who is not an atheist.
It's their own special brand of Tourette Syndrome.
Martin M, that’s true the squid are the victims of our doing. The colossal Squid is a beautiful elegant creature which deserves respect and love and we get people saying ( I will quote a video I saw ) “ Man-eating super squid! Catch And Kill”
This is why some people are scared of the ocean
GREAT JOB.i have been subscribed to your site for quite a while but haven't seen much from your Museum. This was so well done--suspenseful, informative(i liked the way the sperm whale missed its shot!!).
Quite cool. I was kind of annoyed by the light-emitting eyes. :D But nice video indeed.
Free the brain what. They do that.
Yeah little fish, eat the baby squid before they're not baby squid and devour you whole
Well, that squid was way too big to even see those little fish.
Colossal squid are not sea monsters and they can’t sink ships with their arms. Can you believe that?
there sea monsters
@@koitern2567, Do you mean, “They’re sea monsters?”
Indeed, they aren't monsters. Even if they could reach a boat it would die because of the low preasure.
love it so much
2:53 had me thinking what their top speed could be. We all know how fast smaller squids can move with their propulsion. If you scale it up for a 7 m creature with simular reflexes, the distance it should be able to cover in the blink of an eye should be crazy.
3:28 the colossal squid is dead ?
No, giving birth by the looks of it.
@@braydenj1327 Ok ok thank
No its laying eggs
@@xX_wiLLiam_XxITS GIVING BIRTH.
I REMEMBER SEEING THIS AT TE PAPA AS KID HAHA, man this brings back memories
I thought that this would be important information to share, given the ocean-related nature of this clip. 35% of all ocean microplastics come from clothing/textiles, mostly polyester, but also acrylic and nylon as well. This is largely due to clothes made of these materials being washed, which causes these clothes to quickly erode, with the microplastic fibers entering the water system and eventually the sea. Ocean Hero is a great search engine that we can use to help clean up larger plastics before they disintegrate into microplastics.
The Sperm Whale click legitimately freaked me out. What a frightening thing to have to hear before fighting for your life.
@3:33 ITS A BRA!!!
*thicc*
Squids have beaks
The video shows the beak.
beauteful
So.... Nobody Would Talk About How Nightmare Fuel The Sperm Whale Is In This Video ?
Sperm whales 🐳 are able to deep dive into the ocean of below 1200ft and hunt their favourite food squid 🐙
I love colossal squid and giant squids and you made that video thank you for that animation
what i learn is .. dont ruin the food chain
This still is good 10 years later

This is like watching Sharktopus.
how?!

I've watched this video 2 times already when I visited Te Papa
