It's also important to point out that the mythical Giant Squid was ONLY first caught and filmed by the world in 2007!! I remember when it happened and didn’t realize how important that moment was until I understood more about secretive and endangered species (I was a kid when it happened). Fascinating stuff.
That's what I'm saying... did I just imagine seeing that footage countless times over the past 20 years or so... There is footage out there of at least one but, if I recall correctly, it was only the tentacles
And that deer could possibly also be agressive and ambush you and the forest is so dark you cant see anything without the flashlight and there's an already known about cousin of the deer thats like 2/3 of its size
I think a lot of people don't realize that the giant squid, less elusive in contrast, was first photographed alive in its natural habitat only in 2005. It is no simple feat to capture footage of these ocean dwellers.
Of course they don’t, they just comment on phone all days instead of not using phones, all that while inside the school classrooms…. The ocean’s massive not to mention the darkness at these depths…
octopus is a friend cuttlefish is a friend squid is an enemy you DONT ask squid for some selfie those guys in real life are ruthless hunter@Gyrfalcon312
That photo is more like an incrediby faint pattern of radio waves being detected by a bunch of different antennae everywhere in the equivalent of an extremely long-exposure film, but instead it's a whole bunch of raw analog signal output that is translated into an absolutely monstrous amount of digital data that had to be sifted through by supercomputers and transported physically by the cartful of hard-drives to produce even the fuzzy donut-shaped splotch we have now. So calling it a "photo" in the traditional sense is a little oversimplifying, but even still we have the technology to do all of that and yet we lack the capability to reach the deep. You're right, it really puts into perspective how hard this is. (or maybe how underfunded life sciences are compared to astronomy and physics research)

The most film footage of a colossal squid is an episode of the animated series Octonauts, where they draw the squid in a very cute way and have no real footage.
Everyone knows that watching 5 seasons of Octonauts essentially means you have a phd in marine biology just the universities trying to discredit a valid source of information
Oh the Ocean is much much much worse than space..... These things for example only exist in the ocean 😂 Plus we've mapped more of space than the oceans so id rather go up there then down 😂
@@connorburnett6135in fairness that’s a misleading stat that gets thrown around a lot, we’ve mapped a huge amount of the sea floor, most of the ocean only remains unexplored because it’s literally just miles and miles of pitch black open water, there’s nothing to really “map”
@@connorburnett6135the edges and confines of space are literally limitless, whereas the ocean is a set amount of space to explore. It's safe to say we've explored more of the ocean (~24%+) compared to space where there is no end, only an infinite horizon
@goose2888 I think something to think about is that it would be easier to hide a base in the ocean than on other planets, we have mapped more accurately overall other planets better than our own seeing as though most of it is water here and mapped with little precision
Funny thing is you might be on the right track with that. They filmed a giant squid using this technique, sort of. They made a robotic jellyfish that is found down there. That jellyfish has a specific light pattern it emits when it is being attacked. Giant squid are not interested in the jellyfish, but the squid figured out that if the jellyfish is being attacked then the fish that is attacking it is big enough to be a good meal. So when the robot jellyfish was sent down, it would flash a pattern of lights similar to that of the real jellyfish that was under attack. A giant squid came over to investigate and see if he there was a fish attacking the jellyfish he could eat.
That's like trying to go out at night with a flashlight trying to find a mouse in the forrest thats specifically trying to hide from you once you come near
Fun fact: Although they may seem scary, collosal squids eat less grams of food than a kitten eats per day. (Collosal squids eat 30 grams daily, while kittens younger than 5 weeks eat 35 grams daily)
@@googoongga Yea, you are probably right, that's the only logical way in this case to know that. But I have other questions: Do we really have enough data about this to assert that we know exactly how much food is consumed daily by a species which is so rare to observe? I know there were colossal squid carcasses that researhers could examine, but were there enough? I mean this 30 gramms, couldn't it be just the amount that analyzed squid or squids could find and eat for it's last meal? Is it really common for this species or is it just the data we could receive from the little we have?
I once saw a documentary where they strapped cameras to Sperm Whales for this purpose, but what they found was when the Pod when to massive depths they swam incredibly close to each other even rubbing up against each other and this act dislodged the cameras.
What is an interesting fact about the colossal squid? The colossal squid is a massive squid that lives in the deep sea surrounding Antarctica, and it is the holder of multiple records. Not only is it the largest invertebrate on Earth, it also has the largest eyes of any animal, larger even than those of the great whales.. Has anyone seen a colossal squid alive? To date, there are still no pictures of living colossal squid in their natural habitat. This lack of observations means that even to this day, the enormous invertebrates still straddle the line between legend and reality. Yes. Giant squids do exist. There is footage of giant squids, we have found bodies of giant squids, and we have found pieces of giant squids inside sperm whales. Not only does the giant squid exist, but it's larger, scarier, cousin, the colossal squid also roams the deep. Hope this helps bye
We don't know how sensitive they may be to scientists poking around in their only breeding place. They may get spooked, leave, then a whole batch of eggs dies and now they're endangered, and 20 years later they're extinct.
Fun fact, a lot of those natural habitats you see are staged habitats within large warehouses/storage facilities. Used to recreate the environment in which the animal they are showcasing hunts in
The only way we could confirm a sighting would probably be a drone that blends into the squids environment, but even then it would be difficult to know exactly how it would look
The way I’ve always imagined it myself is this.. you want to go to the Sahara desert to see a zebra, but imagine that the landscape extends 20,000ft vertically and is 10x larger then the actual Sahara… and the zebra can float around at whatever depth it chooses.
We HAVE filmed a LIVING COLOSSAL SQUID! It was near the surface and got hauled onto a boat from out of the water before dying in a failed attempt to preserve it. I don't remember if it was already in poor health before it came to the boat, but it's possible. This happened years ago, I just don't remember what condition it was in before it was lifted out. You can find the video on TH-cam pretty easily :)
Of course it was probably in poor health before it reached the boat. Aren't their bodies adapted to very high pressure? I'd imagine their internal pressure would make them all puffed and bloated, if not injured, on the way up to the surface.
That’s kind of the point tho, we’ve never been able to film them in their natural environment. Colossal squids by their very nature are not supposed to be near the surface of the ocean. For example, it’s much better to watch athletes do their thing while fully healthy and at a younger age rather than when they are old and sick. Same goes for basically every animal.
On top of what the comment on top of me said, sperm whales often had tentacles shaped wounds when they came to the surface after hunting in the deep for prey, huge marks , meaning something huge (with tentacles, and they compared the marks and found that it is a squid's) made those wounds, plus i believe at some point one of the sperm whales that was observed had a huge ripped tentacle stuck on its body? Cant remember.
Two dead and partially mutilated ones have been pulled up I believe. The most research was in 2008(? Memory slightly shaky on years) on a carcass that is still on display at The Museum of New Zealand. There are videos of it being examined on their website but you may not be able to access them in the US without a VPN or using a foreign browser (when I was first looking it up my American Chromebook showed nothing but using a German browser on my phone got it)
Just imagine, anything with a decently sized brain would run as fast as possible from any of our research submersibles cuz of how much light. It would be the scariest thing for them, like a glowing angel of death. We need unmanned drones that dont use visible light, we have those surely?
I like how random people in TH-cam comments think people in a specialized field with their specialized degree haven't thought of some of the first ideas that come to mind
Icebergs are monitored worldwide by the U.S. National Ice Center which is the only organization that names and tracks all Antarctic icebergs larger than 1650 meters and they provide global ice analyses and forecasts for all ships so they can have safe voyage
It's still extremely dangerous to traverse the poles on ship, also we are talking about expeditions here, not casual travel and it's not icebergs but icesheets she's talking about, a ship can easily get stuck in those
Of all the uses for AI, I think this could possibly be one. Unmanned submersibles. I mean, specifically to try and catch a collosal squid? Still unlikely, but generally being a great tool to learn about the ocean and it's inhabitants, much better goal. I think an unmanned submersible would fare better than the other options.
The laugh when talking about tagging whales. Never done it, never seen someone do it, but that sounds so hard it made me laugh too. Thank you for the post!
That's just a limit of YT's shorts format. I don't know why they don't let the UI go away when you tap the video or full screen it like they do with regular videos. People making shorts just don't take that into account most of the time.
I think it’s great that people are at least thinking about squid. Even if they don’t fully understand the conditions needed to film one, that spark of curiosity is what matters most. It’s how we eventually get funding for high-tech research vessels capable of braving the elements to make discoveries like this possible. :)
It didn't occur to me got some reason. However, I'd like to point out the shape of the squid on this video looks more like a giant. Hell they aren't far of in terms of size, they're about the same @@connorcornwall1404

Icebergs are monitored worldwide by the U.S. National Ice Center which is the only organization that names and tracks all Antarctic icebergs larger than 1650 meters and they provide global ice analyses and forecasts for all ships so they can have safe voyage
This would be sheet ice she is talking about not icebergs.
What about below the size
It's still extremely dangerous to traverse the poles on ship, also we are talking about expeditions here, not casual travel and it's not icebergs but icesheets she's talking about, a ship can easily get stuck in those
Also icebergs are much much bigger underwater and those could be a big threat to submersibles.
@@ol4414 Yeah, look at what happened to the Titanic especially.
This is some Subnautica Below Zero type shi
Just go to snowcap bruh 🙏🙏😭
Imagine the day we get to see a whale and squid fight in nature. It will be truly incredible.
"The Simpsons did it"
(just kidding)
They already seen a whale and a giant squid fight
If Captain Ahab were still alive today he would have figured it out
If we made filming colossal squid a tiktok challenge, they'd definitely do it in a month, tho there will be sacrifices
Of all the uses for AI, I think this could possibly be one. Unmanned submersibles. I mean, specifically to try and catch a collosal squid? Still unlikely, but generally being a great tool to learn about the ocean and it's inhabitants, much better goal. I think an unmanned submersible would fare better than the other options.
70%- progress speed i need resillience on depths rod
Yall it's not that hard just use sunken rod at ancient isles it's free
"-70% progress speed"🗣️🗣️
Just dress the sub as a spicy female colossal squid
Walace and Gromit type plan
Everybody gangsta till the founding squid shows up
Imagine scientists poke around the wrong trench and awakens a kaiju
The laugh when talking about tagging whales.
Never done it, never seen someone do it, but that sounds so hard it made me laugh too.
Thank you for the post!
What if instead of a colossal squid, they found godzilla and other monstrosities instead lol!
Dream on😂
Lets hope to find out if sea serpent and other sea monsters are truly real and not just weird story with unclear truth from ancient explorer
Real
Don't worry, the ice won't be a problem in a few years!
Ha! So true, sad but true
Good

Lives in deep ocean:fine
Near fuking Antarctica ...bruhh
Give technology another 10 years, we will get that clip.
It's easier to tag Cthulhu than a collosal squid, those fuckers can really hide.
Getting footage of a colossal squid is like finding a needle in a haystack at night with no light to help you.

You are covering up the writing with more writing at the bottom of the screen, making it illegible.
That's just a limit of YT's shorts format. I don't know why they don't let the UI go away when you tap the video or full screen it like they do with regular videos. People making shorts just don't take that into account most of the time.

I think it’s great that people are at least thinking about squid. Even if they don’t fully understand the conditions needed to film one, that spark of curiosity is what matters most. It’s how we eventually get funding for high-tech research vessels capable of braving the elements to make discoveries like this possible. :)
Imagine taking a submarine down there on pitch darkness with the only thing is the sub lights and seeing a huge ass eyeball staring at you 💀

Guys, it has been recorded, first recording was back in 2013 as far as I know
@reign3172 I said as far as I know referring to the year, it's been years since I've seen it, but here you go
@@JayWoz-Gamingthat was a giant squid,two different things mate
It didn't occur to me got some reason. However, I'd like to point out the shape of the squid on this video looks more like a giant. Hell they aren't far of in terms of size, they're about the same @@connorcornwall1404
-70% progress speed ahh fish
I just imagined seeing a colosal squid in person, what a sight it must be
