"Exploring the Kraken's Lair"
Researchers have potentially captured the first known footage of a colossal squid in its natural habitat in the Southern Ocean. The video, taken by marine scientist Matthew Mulrennan and his team, shows a squid that could be a juvenile colossal squid or a closely related species. This marks a significant milestone in the study of these elusive creatures, which have previously only been seen as corpses or animals dragged to the surface. The team plans to continue their quest with more advanced equipment in future expeditions.
