Legendary Monster of the Deep, 26-Foot Squid, Captured on Film - New York Times

Legendary Monster of the Deep, 26-Foot Squid, Captured on Film - New York Times: “today two Japanese scientists, Tsunemi Kubodera and Kyoichi Mori, report in a leading British biological journal that they have made the world’s first observations of a giant squid in the wild.

Working about 600 miles south of Tokyo off the Bonin Islands, known in Japan as the Ogasawara Islands, they photographed the creature with a robotic camera at a depth of 3,000 feet. During a struggle lasting more than four hours, the animal, about 26 feet long, took the proffered bait and eventually broke free, leaving behind an 18-foot length of tentacle.”

Incredible news. But there are no pictures on the &^%*(* NY times site!
