Original: First-ever colossal squid captured on video | What scientists say it reveals
Scientists have recorded the first-ever video footage of a colossal squid alive in its natural habitat, a milestone for deep-sea research. The animal, one of the least seen and heaviest invertebrates on Earth, has previously been known mostly from specimens found in sperm whale stomachs or washed ashore. Researchers say the footage offers new insight into how the species lives and behaves in the deep ocean.
Why now: The first-ever footage of a rarely seen deep-sea giant is a striking scientific first.
