Deep sea craft filmed unprecedented footage of a colossal squid
Scientists previously captured rare footage of a giant squid. Now, they've filmed another huge squid species -- the colossal squid. The first specimens of the colossal squid (Mesonychoteuthis hamiltoni) were formally described by biologists a century ago, in 1925. These deep sea dwellers, which live exclusively in Antarctic waters, are rarely seen, so they're largely mysterious. But the Schmidt Ocean Institute, a well-traveled ocean exploration group, has used a high-tech robot to film the first-ever confirmed footage of colossal squid in its natural and remote marine environs.
