Live Giant Squid Captured On Film For The First Time

Using a manned submersible, a group of scientists recently captured footage of a nearly 60-foot long giant squid in its natural habitat for the first time.

Thanks to Kevin V, Mnemosyne, Lio and Claymation Lover Evil Ares ARGGGG, who convinced me to post this even though the video isn't available yet so that I have something to remind me to post it again when it is. Think of this article as a little piece of string tied around my finger.
