1:08Now PlayingFor the first time ever, scientists have captured footage of a live colossal squid (Mesonychoteuthis hamiltoni) in its natural deep-sea habitat near the South Sandwich Islands. Filmed at a depth of 600 meters by the Schmidt Ocean Institute’s ROV SuBastian during a dive with Ocean Census, this historic moment marks a breakthrough in marine biology. The colossal squid—believed to grow up to 7 meters long and weigh over 1102.31 lbs.—had never been seen alive until now.
