Giant squid is seen hunting prey on video for the first time ever in footage taken by robot

Scientists have recorded the first footage of a giant squid hunting in the wild. The elusive creatures are notoriously difficult to film, as their habitat is housands of feet under the sea, where it's dark and the crushing pressure of water requires specialist equipment. While several dead specimens have washed up on shore, the first still images of a living giant squid in the wild weren't recorded until 2004 and video wasn't obtained until 2012. Now marine biologists have, for the first time, captured footage of Architeuthis dux hunting prey in the wild. The footage was captured in 2019, but researchers have now released analysis of the creature's behavior.
