I agree. If I was a billionaire, id totally invest in more deep sea exploration. Id spend 90% of my fortune on it, and use my rich people connections to get more funding for it.
It's strange that people think that astronauts flying out in space is going to see more life that is alien to us, than what is right within our own planet, in our oceans. The web says more than 80% of the ocean is unexplored, and another quote says that less than 5% of the ocean has been explored. Plenty of creatures in the ocean, look other-worldly and many are intelligent.

2:06 This is what kinda freaks me out. It looks like one solid tentacle then it just opens up. I didn’t know what I was looking at, at first. Like imagine seeing that “thing” coming at you and when you go to move it away it opens up into 10 individual tentacles. I bet it would be so disorientating and shocking. Immediate death.
At the depths that they live your body would be crushed by the pressure before you'd be attacked by anything. Humboldt squid however have been known to come up from the depths and attack humans. they will try to drag you down, lol.
There are stories of goant serpants and a bunch of maps that depict these crazy monsters. So that makes me want to know if they arent exaggerated. And yes giant squid have been know to live deep in the darkness it was very obvios especially the "kraken" which its species has long disappeared.
@@skeleleleletons5869 I've seen illustrations of Kraken from the 1700s. Looked like a hundred foot long squat lobster from that person's interpretation of Kraken.
The maps with illustrations on them were usually maps that hung on some rich guy's wall and the were usually just fluff cartographers added to either illustrate "I don't actually fuckin' know what's out here so here's a monster to represent danger" or just simply as eye candy that fills in empty space. If it was a map that was going to be used for an actual expedition, the space would be filled with more useful information.
As a kid, I used to be petrified of giant squids, I remember being in a museum, they had a squid replica hanging over the wall, I broke down into tears and my dad had to pull me out of there I was so scared. Now when I look back, I just chuckle
I recognize.... that’s the one that attacked Captain Nemo in 20,000 Leagues Beneath the Sea. He’s actually gotten a lot bigger since 1957. Of course he’s bigger than a 2 story house.
Imagine taking that video, being awestruck, then without being prepared for it, a whale comes quick as lightning, and grabs the squid, leaving only a tentacle behind. That would've also been amazing
Yes, yes, yes, She did it again!!! So glad I’m one of the first to see this video posted, truly historic! I can’t wait to see what else she finds, and see more videos from the deep!!!
Lol! Seems that not one commenter in this thread is aware that Dr Edie Widder was part of the team that took the first footage of a giant squid 10 years ago in Japan. All footage of Giant squid in it's natural habitat has been courtesy of Dr Edie Widder, except for the dead and dying specimens washed up on beaches. As for the New Zealand footage , that wasn't a true giant squid.
@@graphite2786 - yes actually I’m VERY aware, I watched the whole thing in Japan with baited breath. That’s why I said “One” of the first - and certainly the most undeniable proof of a TRULY GIANT SQUID! The Japanese team’s footage was extremely fleeting and it could easily, and was by some, be explained away as a overlarge Humbolt. It’s literally a 3 second flash of tentacles in weeks of footage, with zero reference for size. Several Biologists looked at it and all came up with varying conclusions. Then there was that small one at the surface that I believe came up with the special baited hooks (I could be wrong with that one forgive me) that they dissected in New Zealand. - it’s where the giant tank with the preserved body of another actual giant squid is located - they did a live dissection of the new one and had a new tank made up for it. My point about this Lady being “One of the First” and certainly THE BEST - is that she looked at what had been done previously and realized it’s the equivalent of stomping through a forest wondering why you don’t see any animals! So she invented an unobtrusive lure that simply acts like a normal large Jellyfish - knowing that small squid love to eat jellyfish, and drawing the conclusion that bigger squid like bigger jelly’s! Then she put a quiet camera using light that most deep sea creatures can’t see and let it float around - and she got footage on the first trip! Not only that she also equipped a laser size reference to leave ZERO DOUBT.
That really has nothing to do with it, there’s so much overall volume in the ocean and the probability of us being in the right place at the right time to see a creature like this is super low
What do you mean "you just now know they're there?" No shit sherlock. Someone get this man a medal! We've see the huge giant squid battle scars on Sperm whales for decades. We know giant squid are down there.
I read somewhere a long time ago that giant squid are estimated to be able to grow up to sizes of up to 60ft, or roughly 2/3 the size of a basketball court. But apparently there’s never actually been any footage captured of one that big, because no matter how hard I look, my searches always bring me back to this footage. I want to know MORE about the giant squid!!!
Ever since I was little, I wondered why they didn't use heat seeking cameras or infered cameras to explore the depths. At least the animals. I was always surprised that they were able to catch any animals in the footage, with that much light, that bright, being moat likely, painfully bright, or flat out scary, for a lot of animals in the dark depths.
@@jordanbader9667 But they have used, and do use both thermal and inferred cameras these days, to locate fish. I just don't know why they don't do it more often. Is it too expensive? Or what?
Edit: nevermind. In a quick search I waa avle to find the answer. It's hard to capture thermal images underwater, having to do something with the glass and water making it hard for the wavelengths to properly be captured. Thanks for your input though. ☺👍
@@arkevolver1254 To evolve is to change into something it is not. It just grows from a wee squid to a massive squid. All of these creatures are designed uniquely
Taller than a two storey house? Then the old stories from seamen are actually true and humanity has encountered those huge creatures centuries ago. Then even the ancient stories must be true, about giant sea monsters (squids). But still scientists of that field tell us that all the giant squid stories are just fairy tales.
People seem to forget that ships during the colonial period were no longer than a few dozen meters. The Godspeed which brought some of the first settlers to jamestown in 1607 is not much bigger than a modern day small fishing boat. So a giant squid attacking a wooden ship in that time would have been terrifying to the crew aboard. In the game Sea of Thieves, the largest ship in it is only 15 meters long. So yeah, kraken attacks did occur, but the squids involved were not the size of battleships. Man made things were simply smaller back then, and the creatures were the same size then as they are now. What maybe small to us now was TITANIC to our ancestors.
Little fact: Doug Hajicek, an American physicist, developed the camera that captured the giant squid for the first time which was about 54 foot long. Lengthier than a two storey building, naturally.
It’s crazy that a long time a ago there was stories of legendary creatures like Minotaurs and krakens, now we are pretty sure that Minotaurs don’t exist but we don’t know a quarter of what lives down there. and now we see giant squids like where told in the stories of the kraken. Maybe this one isn’t big at all compared to others. Maybe the stories where true?
minotaurs can and likely do exist in a lab it’s nothing but a hybrid made with advanced genetic science the scientist back then were playing with this stuff unfortunately school will never teach us how far ahead science was back then for whatever reason
@@collosaltitan6466 oh boy another conspiracy theorist. A minotaur is impossible, a human and a bull can not give birth to a hybrid, there two extremely distant relatives. Or are you just going to pull "Well the government is just hiding stuff from us!!!!" Like literally every conspiracy theorist ever?
mameまめ lol i mean have you seen the latest genetic experiments and advancements ? also there’s no way you can possibly believe the government isn’t withholding many advancements from the public everything isn’t a conspiracy bro and just because something seem far fetched doesn’t mean it’s not possible japanese scientist are already creating human animal hybrid cell embryos to grow human organs from animals. and there’s also been pictures of rats with human ears at that point i have to wonder what else they working on and what aren’t they showing us and how much could this science advance say 100 years from now
Its just 14feet long, just 14 feet?! JUST,JUST!?!? THATS LONGER THAN MY TOWTRUCK!!!! Seriously, that's a huge animal! Wonder if wade would still say just if he saw the thing in person!!
If you just count the sizes of the rooms, (7ft standard height ) it's technically the size of a "two story house" That's not what most people think of when you say "two story house" however.
I have reason to believe the giant squid is, in fact, the Kraken itself, as well as its big cousin the colossal squid. I believe the legendary beast was inspired by sightings of giant squid back then. But from what I've heard, these big fellas aren't dangerous to humans at all, they're quite calm around humans and even curious! As for how that Geronimo yacht was "attacked", I don't think the squid meant any harm. In fact, it's very rare for giant squids to be on the surface. I believe that squid was either caught on the yacht or just mistook it for like food. As for my theory involving the truth of the Kraken, there's always the tiny chance there's something bigger than a giant squid....
itss still too small to be "the kraken" but it looks like squids can grow a lot... maybe if you give it time then this one will get bigger and bigger. and the question is how? normally squids and octopuses after mating commit suicide. this mean 1-2 years max. in this time they cant grow a lot. so maybe this large one somehow didnt mate yet or it has a genetic failure which allows it to overcome the "suicide program" which means that it can live for a very long time and grow. who knows for how long.
All the monsters in the explorer maps are real; since humans didn’t have deep-sea sailing technology in those days, so the animals most likely stayed closer to the surface.
@Alex Smith Yes, but the thing is, we literally know almost nothing about these things! Nothing. The blue whale is the largest (that we know of), who's to say the giant or Colossal Squid doesn't get bigger, the ones we keep seeing are MASSIVE and for all we know their just regular members of their species... not anything special. Also count the legend of the Kraken, the size of that thing. That monster, real, fake, related or not is legendary for destroying ships and killing whole crews of men, and this animal is the closest thing to THAT, if it is in fact NOT THAT. No one knows how big they get, how long they live, their growth cycle or anything. So yes, this animal as it stands, has the potential to to be larger than a blue whale. And it makes EVEN MORE sense if you count the legend of Moby Dick. The Great White Whale, Essentially a gigantic white Sperm whale that sank a ship. Keep in mind, Sperm whales are known to prey on giant Squid. So we either have these two Titans of Their species, or a predator-prey relationship on a whole new scale.
@@thegreyworldwalker8882 No giant squid is near the size of a blue whale. Blue whales can grow to over 150 tons while the giant squid is only around 1,000 lbs. With such a great difference it is extremely unlikely one can reach 300,00 lbs. An animal larger than a blue whale can exist however we won't find one that is much larger. Animals have a size limit on how large an individual can get. Blue whales are not at that limit but they are near it. There are a few reasons for this maximum size. One freason is larger animals need a great amount of energy to survive. At a certain size they cannot get enough food to meet the calorie requirements needed. Another reason is that at some point an animal cannot gain enough muscle to function. This is because volume increases faster than surface area. Basically at a given mass no amount of muscle could keep up with the increased volume. Now if you are talking about length then that would be the siphonophore which is 150 feet long. So like with the blue whale it is extremely unlikely we will find a giant or colossal squid in that length range since so far out of all the specimens discovered (nearly 700) 46 feet was the longest.
itss still too small to be "the kraken" but it looks like squids can grow a lot... maybe if you give it time then this one will get bigger and bigger. and the question is how? normally squids and octopuses after mating commit suicide. this mean 1-2 years max. in this time they cant grow a lot. so maybe this large one somehow didnt mate yet or it has a genetic failure which allows it to overcome the "suicide program" which means that it can live for a very long time and grow. who knows for how long. but squids dont feed on plankton. so what does this one eat to get so large? does it go up to hunt some bluewhales?

No one knows how big they get, how long they live, their growth cycle or anything. So yes, this animal as it stands, has the potential to to be larger than a blue whale. And it makes EVEN MORE sense if you count the legend of Moby Dick. The Great White Whale, Essentially a gigantic white Sperm whale that sank a ship. Keep in mind, Sperm whales are known to prey on giant Squid. So we either have these two Titans of Their species, or a predator-prey relationship on a whole new scale.
@@thegreyworldwalker8882 No giant squid is near the size of a blue whale. Blue whales can grow to over 150 tons while the giant squid is only around 1,000 lbs. With such a great difference it is extremely unlikely one can reach 300,00 lbs.
An animal larger than a blue whale can exist however we won't find one that is much larger. Animals have a size limit on how large an individual can get. Blue whales are not at that limit but they are near it.
There are a few reasons for this maximum size. One freason is larger animals need a great amount of energy to survive. At a certain size they cannot get enough food to meet the calorie requirements needed.
Another reason is that at some point an animal cannot gain enough muscle to function. This is because volume increases faster than surface area. Basically at a given mass no amount of muscle could keep up with the increased volume.
Now if you are talking about length then that would be the siphonophore which is 150 feet long. So like with the blue whale it is extremely unlikely we will find a giant or colossal squid in that length range since so far out of all the specimens discovered (nearly 700) 46 feet was the longest.
itss still too small to be "the kraken" but it looks like squids can grow a lot... maybe if you give it time then this one will get bigger and bigger. and the question is how? normally squids and octopuses after mating commit suicide. this mean 1-2 years max. in this time they cant grow a lot. so maybe this large one somehow didnt mate yet or it has a genetic failure which allows it to overcome the "suicide program" which means that it can live for a very long time and grow. who knows for how long. but squids dont feed on plankton. so what does this one eat to get so large? does it go up to hunt some bluewhales?
The closest thing we have to explore the deep ocean is by playing subnautica...
The average length of a first floor is 10 feet. It’s 22 feet for a two story home.
14” is not two stories.
The first one they found was 14”, they find a different one later in the vid that is the big one
Did you really not watch the entire 3 minutes? You must be very lazy
Amazingly stunning 😳
That's a lot of nuggets
This giant squid 🦑 is longer than a 2 story building is high. 🙂
I think the question now is what else is out there.
Can you add closed caption please? pretty sure you can afford it in 2021 :)
Alright where’s Vegeta we need to cook some squid.
Taller than a 2 story house? They are kidding right? Right?!
I'd rather take my chances with a shark than one of those things, so much nope,...
Its the legendary kraken, breaker of ships.
The earth is not fully being explored yet so I guess there might be more than a giant squid
Those eyes!!!
what if the squid is Dababy, lessgoo
That was awesome. 🦑
This is effing reason why I have Thalassaphobia
The most merciful thing
We know very little of what is in our deepest oceans.
There probably going to get bigger as more predators like sharks are fished out.
People: 2020 can't get more F'D up!
2020: Hold my calamari! The kraken is Real!
