Colossal Squid - How This Scientist Would Find it
Ғылым және технология
Sperm whales and submarines and squid, oh my!
The colossal squid is the world's largest invertebrate. It can grow to 14 meters long (46 feet) and weigh over 500 kg (~1,000 lbs). Scientists don't know very much about them, because they are rare, elusive, and live at depths below 1,000 m (3,200 feet) in the waters around Antarctica. Only a few specimens have ever been observed by scientists, usually as bycatch in deep-sea fisheries. We asked marine scientist Nathan Robinson to design his dream mission using all the capabilities of our ship the #OceanXplorer. His answer? Find and observe a living colossal squid in the wild.

It was so exciting to have the opportunity to share my dream mission with you OceanX! My finger's are crossed that we can make this a reality!

I truly hope you do! I have always loved following ocean discoveries and even the old myths around this animal. TBH my fear of the ocean is in part due to how little we know of it, and what lives in the depths. The rest is from submechnophobia, so only shallow water for me. Huge Thank you for what you do!!

giant squid is longer. Colossal squid are definitely denser. also 1:52 that's a squid arm. Tentacles/clubs only have suckers at their oar shaped tips/clubs. Actually since it's you're dream squid the clubs of the colossal have rotating nightmare teeth.

@@error13_genderexpunged it is not that, squid are extremely territorial and aggressive. Humboldt are perfect example of. Colossals are Humboldt on steroids.
They like to attack submarines that for certain. Example: Captain Nemo's 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea. Documentary shown by Family Classis years ago.
Good luck to find squidward,he don't want to be found.

I can't even watch it or listen in fear that I'm not going to like the outcome. Usually, when things are beautiful old & should be protected & left in their own, habitat!!! Although, normally they're, killed, caged, eaten & taken away from all that they've known that helped hem to be that beautiful in the first place!!

Without studying we don't know whether they are threatened or fine to take any action to preserve them. But what you are saying is also true.
This is gonne be like aproaching a dinosaur we dont even have a idea how big they can actually get what we wrote down on it are estimates thats scary as hell
Mmmmm....giant calamari.
So let me get this straight. You’re _not_ trying to get away from these monsters. You want to go find them, right? Something named Colossal and you want to go and bait it, to get it to come to you. Alright, just wanted to air that out. Thank you.
I think he's not correct saying they are in deep canyons somewhere in the Southern Ocean. They are always in the same lakes I go to swim. Relatively close to the shore. Waiting.
please take this vessel to the marryana trench
Colossal squid can’t sink ships with their tentacles. Can you believe that?

It's been tried with suction devices to attached the camera, the best they got you see the tip of a tentacle ending up in front of the camera and staying there. Then the camera would detach and they find it with sonar.
I know this is hard but can you CATCH a colossal squid and freeze it to preserve it for a long time?

The giant squid actually may be a little longer than the colossal squid but the colossal squid is heavier by mass. The colossal squid's size is unknown but it is believed to grow up to 46 ft (14 m) long. The largest colossal squid ever found was ~33 ft (10 m) long. The giant squid can grow up to ~43 ft (13 m) long

Actually we don't know what one is longer only one specimen of the colossal squid has been found we know they weigh double that of a giant squid and it's very possible the kraken stories had some truth in the colossal squid not the giant squid. The colossal squid is twice as wide at 2-3 meters on the one specimen we have.
