BAAAAAD mental picture just entered my head. BAAAAAD.

Edit: I had to get rid of the evidence. It was haunting me.

Hey - they gotta bag their prey somehow.

Very cool footage. Makes you wonder what else lurks about that we just haven't seen yet.

Heehee, the video uses two shots of the squid like a one page flipbook, back and forth. Bummer they don't have any real video of it. But wow, I can't believe they actually got images! So freakin' cool.

This is fantastic! Wonderful! I recall them finding evidence of the giant squid before, but I believe it was dead. That discovery spawned my favorite unpurchased t-shirt:
