Ultros exists!
It's a squid!
GIANT SQUID!
they usually pwn Sperm whales.
First killer dolphins, now giant squid... What is this?? B-movie day?
XD.
The giant squid is real, the Dolphins are too dumb to actually use htw weapons homicidally.
Lets say 26 ft long.
:( I can't play the video, are you all able too?
MSN don't support firefox and won't let you view media files using that browser, only netscape or Internet explorer.
It's interesting I hope we can see better footage and bigger squid.
Apparently their video software is only for IE. Well screw them then.
That's scary awesome though. D:
That is SO cool. :D
Don't tease the octopus.
It's a squid!

Giant squid have been known to exist for decades. We find their tentacles in the stomaches of very large whales, on occasion. This is the first photo, though.
I'm waiting for them to find Nessie, should it really exist. And bigfoot... I want one of those for a pet!
Seafood soup!
I never thought I'd see such spam in EotW. Wow.
As for the giant squid, I'm sure it's very friendly and all that, but I'd prefer it if it stayed a long way underwater, a long way from me.
C'mon guys, you're ruining my thread. :(
There have been lots of photos of Giant Squids taken. They were all dead though.Quote:

The video doesn't work for me on IE either. :(
Your thread started with a link and "Ultros exists!".... what is there to ruin? You didn't have a direction, so people just pulled it off into wherever they wanted to go with it.Quote:

Giant Squid? PFFFFT! Its all about the Colassal Squid which is bigger and even meaner.
Instead of sharp teeth on the sucction cups they have huge hook like claws to really
grab onto something....also here is my favorite picture of a giant squid. smurfED!

Interesting accounts that are apparently true.
That's not at all true. :nonono:Quote:
Tsunemi Kubodera knew he had something big.
I hope they catch Nessie on footage next. :)
Actually, a couple years back, I read an aritcle about a squid even bigger than Arciteuthis dux. It appearently lives in artic waters, so is even rarer for a human to encounter. Not sure if that really has much to do with the topic, but interesting stuff. Also, there are signs that giant squids are the agressive attackers on sperm whales, not just whales eating them. Dudududu :greenie:
That's amazing, I'm not surprised it was the Japanese that accomplished this!
This is completely awesomw, since no-one's ever seen one of those creatures alive before. We've known they exist for ages, but the only ones ever found have been dead - so this news is really very cool.[q=Shoden]they usually pwn Sperm whales.[/q]Actually, sperm whales eat them - although quite a few whales have scarred faces from their encounters.
Ambergris - the gooey stuff used as a fixative in perfumes - is made from the undigested remains of giant squid beaks that accumulate in sperm whales' guts. So people have long been wearing the processed remains of giant squid, but we've only just now seen one alive...
There are sperm whales 10-metre giant squid in the seas around my country, so we've had a few good examples of dead squid wash up on our shores.
Really cool that one has finally been observed alive, though.
Is there by any chance a giant octopus that we could talk about? It would technically be more on topic.Quote:

But the giant squid's always been, and still is, more mysterious because it lives at greater depths.
Some people speculate that giant squid could read up to 30m (100 feet) in length; it'll be interesting to see if this is actually true in any cases, or just speculation by cryptozoologists.
You guys realize there is a squid out there bigger than the giant squid...right?
I don't know if any of you know this, but a while back a fairly large Squid, I think it was a little smaller in size washed up on a beach somewhere, which gave scientists ideas about the killer squid. However, don't ask me for a source, I saw it on discovery channel, and that was a few years ago when I saw it.
Wow, that IS awesome!
wow, that Truly is SomthingBig. :D
It is really cool to watch, I curse microsoft for making me use thier steamy turd cracking browser, but it is worth it.
Bipper
Thats awsome and creepy at the same time
Just think what will be caught on film next.
Hopefully closer observations and better picture of bigger Squid can be caught.
Um, no, they don't.Quote:

Calamari, anyone? :DQuote:

Sperm Whales have been found with violent scars and pwnage marks!
The Sperm Wahle replies by eating the delicious gigantic 26ft long squid, pwning it back.
A real life sea monster eh.
He still alive! I should have known! *takes out humongous sword* Die!Quote:
