A `` giant squid movie '' moving at a depth of 800 meters is like a horror movie



At a depth of 759m in the Gulf of Mexico, a giant giant giant squid stretched its ten legs. This is the first time that a giant living squid has been filmed in the U.S. sea, but the footage is just like a horror movie.

The video capturing the giant squid can be seen from the following.


The camera is showing traps to lure the squid.



I think ... the tentacles are getting longer ...



Tentacles entangle in traps.




It looks like an alien is hitting the target.



After losing interest in traps, Daiouika disappeared into the darkness again.



The images were shot by exploration researchers funded by the US National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). Researchers were investigating the effects of light blocking on organisms in the darkness at a depth of 1,000 meters.

It was very difficult to shoot live giant squid in nature, and until 2012, when Widder and his team filmed off the coast of Japan, live images were never seen. The video taken in 2012 can be confirmed from the following.

In 2004, Japanese researchers succeeded in taking pictures, but in many cases, giant squid was launched after being killed on the beach or removed from the whale's belly.

Giant squid is legendary among marine life because of its huge size, its alien-like appearance, and its elusiveness. The monster ' Kraken ' that appears in fiction such as Jules Verne's ' 20,000 mile under the sea ' also comes from this image of Daiouika.

According to Edith Widder, a researcher, 23 crew members conducted a special exploration and survived lightning strikes on a computer-equipped exploration ship for hours before releasing the image of Daioika to the world. He had to check the video over time. For exploration, a camera system called 'Medusa' that uses red light that marine life can not detect has been developed, and Mr. Widder said he disguised this camera like a jellyfish and attracted squid.

And just before the final day of the two-week exploration, the footage of Daiouika was filmed.

Regarding the moment when one of the crew, Nazan Robinson, found Daiouika, Mr. Widder said, 'The eyes were about to jump out of my head.He did not say anything, but I immediately Or something surprising in the video. ' Researchers estimate that the size of Daiouika is 3-3.7m.
