Existing images of giant squids usually depict the animals once they’re dead and washed up on a beach, a mess of bleached, gelatinous tentacles. But this footage shows something altogether more amazing: a live giant squid surfacing near a fishing trawler and attempting to feast on the day’s catch. The fishers are forced to defend the catch of the day with the aid of a long pole which they use to prod the animal. Read the rest here 09:14
