Thread: Giant Squid caught on film!!!!
http://msnbc.msn.com/id/9503272/
I am soooo excited!!! I cannot believe they have finally caught one live on film!!!! I've been waiting for this moment since my childhood. I can't wait to see the footage. I hope the next film will be that of a live Tazmanian Tiger (last known live specimen died in a zoo, but there is hopes that some still remain in the remote regions of Tazmania). What a great day!!!

LOL, I've been an animal freak my whole life. I have a passion for their well-being and their way of life...
Duuuuuuuude!
Thats amazing....People have been waiting for this for years...Just amazing.
Now all we need is:
Ras's Fiery Stuffed Peppered Giant squid recipe:
50 kg of rice
2 kg of fresh dill
20 kg of choped tomatoes
7 kg of olive oil
70 onions
salt
pepper
You clean the giant squid and chop the tentacles into little pieces. In a giant frying pan you chaute the onions, and the tentacles, you add the tomato and the dill, bring up to heat and add the rice. You bring back to boil and cook untill the rice is half cooked.
Then you take the body of the giant squid and by using a giant knife you make lines on its surface in a square patern. You dip it in black pepper and shake of the excess one ( if you dont like things spicy then just salt and pepper the giant squid but trust me peppered squid is great ). Stuff the giant squid with the stuffing you just made and close the entrance with a giant toothpick ( you can use a telephone line wooden pole ). Place the giant squid in a giant oven tray and add the remaining of the olive oil and some water. Place in a giant oven and cook until the rice is fully cooked. Make sure you baste the giant squid now and then and that you turn it over once or twice. Dont overcook or it will taste like rubber.
Enjoy with dry white wine and a good greek salad!

'wow, they caught a giant squid on film, I usually use a worm and ten pound test line"
ichi
'wow, they caught a giant squid on film, I usually use a worm and ten pound test line"

WHERE ARE THE REST OF THE PICS!!!

Any good calamari recipes?
Badass. I always knew gargantuan squid were real. Or...well, I always believed it.
Thanks for sharing. That's a beauty of a beastie. Studying the deep ocean is one of the last frontiers...other than the molten interior.

Giant squid chopped into little pieces, is that irony? You clean the giant squid and chop the tentacles into little pieces...
Awesome!!
I've been waiting for this as well. I have a long-time fascination with deep-sea creatures...
Hope it's a big 'un!!

i recently saw a fake documentary on PBS in which they speculated about what animals would evolve into in 300 million years from now
one of the creatures was a giant squid who lives in a forest and terrorizes all the creatures of it by walking thru it via using it's tentacles as legs
it was about to eat a baby monkey or something like that, but all the other monkies were pelting it with nuts or something until it let go of the baby monkey
it was an interesting concept except that the CGI looked really fake. anyhow i bet Dave would love that giant forest squid creature

Awesome. So when can we expect to see Nessy?
They had this on tv . On either TLC or Discovery.
I've been waiting for this since I was a kid too. Must have been something about growing up in the 70's, giant squid were my favourite animals. Jacques Costeau documentaries maybe?
Hope they find the Mongolian death worm next.

900 meters !!
Can't be much light down there.....

Oh my god, Imagine the amount of Calamari or Scungilli you can get from that!
Wow, I hope they'll have a National Geographic articale on it soon...

Agreed. I mean, space is nice and all that, but there isn't much to do up there by continuniung sending up men. Let's check out the ocean, where we can see funky animals and not have to waste money on all that rocket stuff.I hope that just maybe the politicians of all our countries would focus their energies more on the sea than just throwing money into space programs that, in my opinion, do little more than give Star Trek fans chubbies.
Actually the lost tentacle is mentioned to be lost by the lead researcher, meaning it won't grow back.
This is some news. Or should we say 'olds' or 'not-news' given it is half a year old really. I find the pictures extremely beautiful, how the squid is alsmot starshaped and folding. It is clear that it is indeed fast and agile like he says. Must be scary to be down there if one such passes by. Monster!
And this one is rather small, half the size it can get to. If only it had been a movie and not just a lot of disjoined pictures.

After cephalopod death match, squid porn is the obvious way to go.Now be nice EA.

This makes the success of these guys even funnier though. In the blue corner, a team who are going to catch female squid, isolate and analysise their pheremones, work out which ones turn the male squid on, create a spray on ArousaSquid (tm) spray, coat a camera with it, and dangle it in the ocean for a male squid to hump. In the red corner, Professor Mori with a hook with a bit of fish on it, and a very long peice of string.
Lol EA.
I hope they get pictures of the 30' eels now, wish I could remember what they are called, they are white with a red dorsal fin.
Incidentally did anyone watch the programme on the Amazon when they filmed the giant armoured (yes it has got a "U" in it) catfish.

No, but I did hear about absolutely enormous catfish (eg 20-30 foot long) that are supposed to live in deep lakes in Scandinavia and account for lots of "Nessie" type myths.
Check this baby out http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/2155462.stm, and thats a titch. (Yes i did realise they faked the picture of it attacking the swan)
Normal catfish are gross enough without being 30 foot and/or armoured.
