Japan: Announcing the video about the giant squid

The giant squid not only lives deep in the sea but also has the ability to swim very fast. Japanese scientists have unveiled unique images to prove this in a movie about a giant squid.

The team led by Professor Tsunemi Kubodera recorded a giant 3.5-meter ink (head 1.4m long) and weighs 50kg under the 640m deep North Pacific Ocean 1,000km from Tokyo. South.

This giant squid species is considered to be one of the most mysterious creatures in the ocean, for many years it has been a waste of effort to hunt down researchers from the National Science Museum of Japan.

Some informal documents indicate: the squid can grow to 20m in length.

'In the film it shows that the giant squid waving violently to escape from the net just sprayed the water from its funnel (to move), proving that the giant squid can swim very fast instead of normal floating. ' Professor Kubodera said.

To lure this squid, the team placed a large sized hook below 650m in the Ogasawara Sea with a ' sacrifice '. The squid trapped and was captured after a few hours of unsuccessful struggle.

His team concluded that capturing a giant squid at a depth of 640m confirms many of them living in the deep sea.

Squid species, including giant squid, are the main food of sperm whales. According to Professor Kubodra, a sperm whale can eat at least 500kg of squid every day. In half of the western Pacific Ocean, there are about 200,000 sperm whales, so there must be a lot of deep seabed ink.

In the next few months, scientists will study the inside of the giant squid's stomach. Last year the research they carried out allowed them to conclude that the giant squid not only swam but also very active, they attacked prey in a horizontal position before killing by strangling.
