When we play the game “Apples to Apples” it’s a well known fact that anyone playing the card “Giant Squid” will win the round, no matter that adjective you’re trying to match to. Well, OK, maybe I should qualify that - any round where Alison is the judge.
In honour of that ruling, and I dont know if I win anything here, but the BBC News website and the New York Times have stories of the first giant squid captured on film in its native deep-sea hunting grounds
A live, adult giant squid has been caught on camera in the wild for the very first time.Japanese researchers took pictures of the elusive creature hunting 900m down, enveloping its prey by coiling its tentacles into a ball.
The images show giant squid, known as Architeuthis, are more vigorous hunters than has been supposed.
I’m sure that other places are reporting it, but the BBC Website includes video of the beast!
