About 1:11 in you get a giant squid estimated between 60 feet to 108 feet in length. Way to go MonsterQuest finally an actual monster. Now I'll never dive again in the ocean... ever.

One of the people I used to live with was a marine biology graduate student, so he used to talk about this kind of stuff quite a lot. It's fairly unsettling actually seeing one.

I'm fascinated with giant squid. I can't get enough news. If there's a show on about giant squid, or the even larger colossal squid, I watch it. So thanks.

Yuck!

I hate squid/octopus type things, probabley the only thing i have a proper phobia of.

:Help: :Help: :throwup:
But if you're all about the destination, then take a fucking flight.
We're going nowhere slowly, but we're seeing all the sights.
And we're definitely going to hell, but we'll have all the best stories to tell.


Full of the heavens and time.

I think Dr. Clyde Roper is kicking himself right about now for not thinking of this camera system. Seeing a monster like that was a kick in the pants. I hope they can get more shots of it. I figure its still there since it probably has a good thing on a source of food, since it is that large. Its appetite must be terrifying in order to keep alive.
