Colossal squid was identified and named 100 years ago, but people have never seen swimming in their natural habitat so far.
According to Institute of Ocean SchmidtSubastian, a remote -driven vehicle deployed by the Institute's research ship, called Falcor (also), recorded footage of juvenile colossal squid on March 9. It happened near the southern sandwich islands in the South Atlantic Ocean, about 430 miles southeast of the South Georgiadarist.
Every discovery of how this is a big deal, but this is a little nicer because it is not just any colossal squid; It's a baby.

Juvenile squid looks almost like it is made of glass. His transparent body shows his internal organs, and the slow movement of his orange tentacles draws attention to his dazzling eyes.
Scientists have noticed two rounded hooks on the clubs at the ends of the long squid. There are also hooks in the middle of his eight hands, an essential feature of colossal squid.
It is a minor, so there is still a transparent body that resembles creatures known as glass squid. Baby squid will lose that transparency as it gets older.
The video is made at a depth of 1,968 feet, and juvenile squid is almost one leg long. Growing colossal squid can grow to about seven meters and weigh up to £ 1,110, making it the most difficult carbaret on the planet.
We do not know much about how colossal squid live because they find it difficult to make their natural habitat. Scientists found them in the stomachs of Sperm whalesSo it's a huge development to get a video in the deep sea. Colossal squid are still a mystery, but a little less than one now.
