Scientists Finally Captured a Giant Colossal Squid

There are tens of millions of colossal squid in the Southern Ocean right now. Each one the size of a school bus. Each one weighing over a thousand pounds. Each one equipped with the largest eyes of any animal that has ever lived on Earth. And in all of recorded human history, we have never once filmed an adult alive in its natural habitat. Why does an animal with eyes the size of a basketball live in total darkness where there is nothing to see? How did scientists calculate that tens of millions of colossal squid must exist right now, without ever finding one? What were the gashes on sperm whale skin that proved something far larger and more violent than the giant squid existed in the deep? Why does the colossal squid have blue blood instead of red, and what does copper have to do with surviving the coldest ocean on Earth? Why did a hundred years of deep sea expeditions come up empty, while one researcher found an unknown species of squid in eighty six seconds using a ring of blue LED lights? What did a 2021 study reveal about how far deep sea animals flee from our submarine lights, and what does that tell us about everything we thought we knew about the deep? And if the colossal squid is not rare, if it is not hiding, then why can we still not find it? In this Historavo investigation, we go beneath the surface of the world's most extraordinary mystery and uncover the real reason the largest invertebrate on Earth remains invisible.
