Why Hasn't the Colossal Squid Been Filmed Before?

Ғылым және технология

We know the colossal squid exists and where it lives, but how come no one has been able to film it in it's natural habitat before?

    Even if it had night vision, its so dark that you wouldn't see anything. And even IF you could see, there is no guarantee you'd get a good look at the squid in the first place.

    That photo is more like an incrediby faint pattern of radio waves being detected by a bunch of different antennae everywhere in the equivalent of an extremely long-exposure film, but instead it's a whole bunch of raw analog signal output that is translated into an absolutely monstrous amount of digital data that had to be sifted through by supercomputers and transported physically by the cartful of hard-drives to produce even the fuzzy donut-shaped splotch we have now. So calling it a "photo" in the traditional sense is a little oversimplifying, but even still we have the technology to do all of that and yet we lack the capability to reach the deep. You're right, it really puts into perspective how hard this is. (or maybe how underfunded life sciences are compared to astronomy and physics research)

    Funny thing is you might be on the right track with that. They filmed a giant squid using this technique, sort of. They made a robotic jellyfish that is found down there. That jellyfish has a specific light pattern it emits when it is being attacked. Giant squid are not interested in the jellyfish, but the squid figured out that if the jellyfish is being attacked then the fish that is attacking it is big enough to be a good meal. So when the robot jellyfish was sent down, it would flash a pattern of lights similar to that of the real jellyfish that was under attack. A giant squid came over to investigate and see if he there was a fish attacking the jellyfish he could eat.

    @@NotKages Yea, you are probably right, that's the only logical way in this case to know that. But I have other questions: Do we really have enough data about this to assert that we know exactly how much food is consumed daily by a species which is so rare to observe? I know there were colossal squid carcasses that researhers could examine, but were there enough? I mean this 30 gramms, couldn't it be just the amount that analyzed squid or squids could find and eat for it's last meal? Is it really common for this species or is it just the data we could receive from the little we have?

    We HAVE filmed a LIVING COLOSSAL SQUID! It was near the surface and got hauled onto a boat from out of the water before dying in a failed attempt to preserve it. I don't remember if it was already in poor health before it came to the boat, but it's possible. This happened years ago, I just don't remember what condition it was in before it was lifted out. You can find the video on KZread pretty easily :)

Cant remember.

    It's incredibly rare to even be able to film giant squid without risking your life. One of the first was amazing and left the man who got stuck in their feeding group almost killed by one who grabbed him and was attempting to eat him. Luckily he used the camera to prevent the beak from getting at him, and he managed to get freed very very close to being drowned. Imagine that, but only in arctic waters and even less likely if at all, to come up to areas we can go to pressure wise.
