You know, I can see how the kraken legend started. Some whalers sitting in a little rowboat suddenly see a giant squid attacking their quarry. It'd be enough to unnerve even the toughest of salts.

Liberty Prime It’s been proposed that Giant Squid also initiate these fights from time to time. They are highly unlikely to ever win, unless they happen across a young or injured whale, but some reports have suggested surprisingly aggressive behavior. Some notable examples being attacks on The Brunswick and the USS Stein.

The real thing is probably word of mouth and imagination. Some squids - very large ones - will float to the surface when sick, dying or deceased, provided predators haven't gotten one. Chances are this happened and some sailors spotted it, or perhaps it swam to the surface to escape a predator or chase its prey. The sailors who say it probably said "It was big as our boat!" but probably meant from the tip of the mantle to the end of the tentacular clubs, likely a dingy or very small boat meant for fishing. Then people started to continue the story, either exaggerating the size out of imagination or misinterpretation. The phrase "big as our boat" might have stuck, and that lead it from going to a dingy, to a sloop, to a galleon in size if not larger. Some people might only think large boats when they hear "This squid was the size of a boat!" and let their imaginations run wild when unfamiliar with things from the deep. Probably where the legend of the Kraken began, especially when giant or colossal squid beaks began to wash ashore, or large tentacles from the sperm whale's previous kills.

I think comparing sea exploration with space exploration is a bit biased and unnecessary. If it's a matter of money, sure, we can see the difference very clearly. But both are doing good work and doing it as best as they can... And personally I appreciate that very much.

The world needs a NASA for the oceans, but please don't frame the idea like you want to take investment capital from space exploration to do it!! Nerds need to stick together! We want more of both to better the species, it shouldn't be a case of oceans and space directly competing for funds :(

Well done and totally agree with an exploratory body for our oceans ….I saw whilst on a fishing boat during the day probably 50 kms away several huge translucent arms moving up and down with the sun glistening on it and for near in ten minutes it was sighted that was off the coast of Carnarvon Western Australia at around 3-400 nautical miles out to sea …once again well done 👍

Do we though? We don't even know if black holes actually exist. We don't even know how to achieve space travel that could make us able to explore galaxies that are more than 10 light-years away in one lifetime. We don't even know if other phenomena exist that is not visible to telescopes. We don't even know if life exists out there or if it doesn't. Meanwhile we know a lot about the ocean, we have mapped the topology of it using radar and other means. We are aware of the physical properties it exerts on our ships and submarines, we are even able to travel inside it pretty well without much failure. We also know a lot of species that live within it and know how the ecosystem works. We can also predict the type of organisms that exist based on depth, pressure and temperature. We know what materials are found in it and its dangers.

Showing the breathtaking 'never seen' visuals of giant squid, the ocean explorer, Edith Widder gives an awe-inspiring talk. She says, we have explored so far just 5% of the ocean is worth mentioning here. Great. Must watch.

She said they have been developing quieter subs in the past. And even though they manage to get it tight, it took plenty more time until they finally see one.

Should be able to find them in darkspace. They usually shows up every 50,000 years.

Depends on how you look at it. We won't exactly be living in space anytime soon, but we can definitely use the stuff we find in the ocean now, and the stuff we learn about the ocean could also be extremely useful in studying space... soooo

The mantle length of a giant squid of an estimated 15 metres in total (or 50 feet), should be roughly 4.5 m or 15 feet. So if you look at that squid with an estimated mantle length of 2.5 m it should be 7.5 to 8m in total. The bait's size was 1 meter, if i didn''t mishear it. Anyways, considering they reach maturity within 2 years that specimen should be rather young. O'Shea has some nice information on that.

i feel bad for you then...you do know she screwed up on basic math when claiming how long the squid is right? according to wikipedia who details this very footage, the squid was 3 meters, aka 9.8 feet long...which seems to match the footage since the bait squid they used was about 3 feet and the squid was roughly 3 times that length in the footage so how did 9.8 feet become "2 stories" which might i inform you is anywhere between 25 and 30 feet? she migth be smart enough to make a snazzy and effective lure but she clearly doesnt know basic math, pretty sure most first-graders can figure the difference out in this case

7:47 - i agree 💯 %

My suggestion would be create a large (100ft) squid shape in white cloth perhaps the same as hot air balloon material and one would assume the balloon company would be able to handle such a task and for easy storage aboard ship and deployment ,the mantle end of the squid would be open to allow water to fill inside the balloon,the fins at the back or tail would be the only 'solid' part and would be dragged by the boat,the tentacles would have smaller holes in each end so the water would fill the 'squid balloon' shape much like a wind sock, also lined inside the balloon rows of LEDs can be sewn perhaps red/white, then with a flick of a switch the LEDs will pulse and flash but the light will remain trapped inside the balloon so the whole thing will pulse and flash, it works like the bottle of glitter cuttlefish trap, the squid see's a another squid near the surface and comes to investigate...peace

When I saw it on curiosity I thought it might be 50+ feet when they said giant squid

1:25 I knew I had seen her before!

Dealing with these critters requires a Squid Pro Quo.

Neither space or the oceans have been truly explored to any depth. Both are equally important in my opinion. Both areas of exploration still have so much to teach us. And whats with the insults?
