It may surprise many to know that one of the largest animals on earth--the giant squid (Architeuthis dux)--has never been seen alive in its natural habitat. Until now.
The first ever pictures of a live giant squid in its natural environment have been snapped in deep water off Japan. Working with a cheap camera and a fishing boat, the two Japanese researchers have succeeded where millions of dollars and international film crews have failed.Here's my question, though: A. dux is known as the Atlantic giant squid--what the heck was it doing off Japan? Going out for sushi?
