they are so effing scary what the flip they can literally attack humans, live off the coast of the uk and are absolutely HUGE
also not sure why the guy in this pic looks so pleased w himself he’s holding a literal slimy alien
Mysterious and ethereal critters. They can become quite tame and almost walk????
I love them so much.
they travel from the rivers out to sea then to an unknown place near Tonga to spawn and die; the babies or larvae then find their way back to their ancestral rivers hundreds of kilometres away riding ocean currents…
This is the first confirmed live observation of the colossal squid, Mesonychoteuthis hamiltoni, at depth in its natural habitat.
It is ironic that they found a baby.
