Squid and Octopus spotting

[Cuddlycuttlefsh]

Just to let you know since the ceph is so soft bodied they tend to shrink after a short while.

"Baby Squid, Born Like Stars" -- that one's been around for a long time, and it still leaves me breathless & teary-eyed. Thanks for posting again!

cuddleycuttlefish,
Three of our staff were active partipants in the thawing and preservation.

Found these two clips earlier today. I love watching two or more grab hold and play tug-o-war lol.

Three of them must be the coolest people on earth! Dang, compared to my status I feel so dinky.

Thanks for posting more vids! That was beautiful, it was even 720p! You think they might be deep sea octopuses because of the bioluminescence that was present in the mantle?

 

[skywindsurfer]

I didn't notice any bioluminescence, but I think they are young GPOs. I love how you can see right through them.

 

[Cuddlycuttlefsh]

So true, it's so cooler too when they use their siphon all the time when they're still transparent. Their heads (well...mantle) are so big too.

This web trully has it's perks, I would've never seen any of these films without any of you guys.

AW look at this little guy. He's trying his best to blend in with the surroundings.

NatGeo Hunt for the Giant Squid

NatGeo is showing expeditions this week and there will be a new Giant Squid hunt Tuesday at 9:00 PM. Here is the preview

Very nice, hope for best of luck for them. I am very eager to find out how active and intelligent these predators are. Regardless of the film recorded by Tsunemi Kubodera maybe this time something other than one frame from per 30 seconds.

 

[Cuddlycuttlefsh]

I made an awesome book mark double-sided and laminated. The first is Veined Octopus and the squid is Caribbean Reef Squid. I don't know if this counts as squid and octopus spotting but I thought I might as well show it.

Just finished watching the special. This week was really busy and I didn't have that much time, but....Luckily I had Tivo so..... Not as lucky as the japanese dude's encounter. Actually having a Giant Squid thinking your camera is food and pulling it down the ocean is the best case scenario.
