See the First Image of a Giant Squid 2,000 Feet Underwater

[GameChanger]

Haunting, mysterious, scary, beautiful, alien, bizarre.

The underwater world is so beautiful.

Just imagine. You, in a small submarine, in the world of eternal night, floating silently in the darkness, alone. Suddenly, this thing swims in your view.

The mixture of fear, awe and curiosity. How would you describe that?

Now for the Colossal squids.

There is nothing that both terrifies me and intrigues me more than the deep sea, so this is awesome.

 

[lazy villian]

At one part I misread and for a moment seriously thought this was about huge underwater squirrels.

this is funnier because your picture is pinkie pie
i just want you to know that

 

[Lumzdas]

I was stupid enough to misread the title and thought that the squid was 2000 feet long
I was severely disappointed just moments later.
But still, it's quite small, show me one the size of a whale, then it's going to be at least somewhat exciting.

 

[Something Amyss]

Awesome. I always nerd out a little for this sort of thing. Real or Cryptozoology. I think the latter's generally nonsense, but it sparks my imagination.

8 meters...so 26 feet? That's pretty big. Now all that's left to do is find bigfoot!

He's crashing on my couch. Do you need him for something?

 

[Hazy992]

many zoologists thought the giant squid was just a story sailors told like mermaids and sirens

Man that's pretty impressive if they saw a siren. There's only six in the entire universe you know!

Jokes aside this is pretty remarkable stuff. Anyone know if and when they'll air it in the UK?

 

[Jingle Fett]

That's pretty awesome. I was hoping for something bigger, like 20 feet or something, but still pretty cool. Also...

2. Why did it take so long?

The ocean is very big, very deep, and very dark. And I mean very.

Anyway, yeah, this is way cool that we've finally seen a healthy one alive. Hell, I remember when the first live one was caught on film, and that too was awesome.

 

[Erttheking]

Jesus Christ, the ocean is like another planet sometimes.

 

[Storm Dragon]

Alright, marine biologists, here's your next objective: Live footage of a giant squid and sperm whale fighting each other. Make it happen.

Now for the Colossal squids.

Just in case anybody thought you were joking... [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colossal_squid]

OT: That's cool. Now, I wonder when we'll find out what made The Bloop [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bloop]?

 

[thesilentman]

"It is in the most dangerous places that beauty hides."

So freaking true. As much as I'd like to see it in an aquarium, I think that this guy should stay where he is. Now we've definitely got to go deeper. >:-D

 

[Furioso]

Freakin' wicked. The world is awesome, isn't it?

Yes, yes it is. A video was made just for this
They even mention the Giant Squid in that, how perfect!

 

[Infernai]

Now for the Colossal squids.

Just in case anybody thought you were joking... [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colossal_squid]

OT: That's cool. Now, I wonder when we'll find out what made The Bloop [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bloop]?

Just to give even more proof something like this exists..

[CrazyGirl17]

Wow. Nature is amazing, ain't it? Now if only they can actually prove whether or not Bigfoot and the Loch Ness Monster exist...

 

[Elexia]

I think that's god's way of telling us to stay the hell out of the ocean.

...Japanese public broadcaster NHK...

It's a conspiracy! It's all a consiracy between the squid and the NHK! They're in it together to take over the world!!!
