First ever photos of Giant Squid...alive!
How can one explain one's unsettling fascination with giant sea creatures? Whales - slightly boring. But sperm whale vs giant squid? Oh my! A battle of mythic proportions, like Godzilla vs King Kong, or Vampire vs Werewolf, or T Rex vs Marshmallow Man, or something.
I don't even like eating squid, white and rubbery and unpleasant as it tastes. If I had a pet squid, I would pit it against crabs and siamese fighting fish.
Fantasies aside, more giant squid links.
An excerpt from the last link:
In 1996 during an expedition to the Azores scientists attached a "Crittercam"—a specially designed video camera invented at National Geographic—to a sperm whale, hoping that the whale would guide them to the squid. The second expedition in 1997 was conducted in the Kaikoura Canyon in New Zealand—a spot where immature male sperm whales hang out and eat giant squid until they are ready to command a harem.
The last sentence conjures up images both hilarious and disturbingly familiar.
