Colossal Squid - How This Scientist Would Find it

- Sperm whales and submarines and squid, oh my!
The colossal squid is the world's largest invertebrate. It can grow to 14 meters long (46 feet) and weigh over 500 kg (~1,000 lbs). Scientists don't know very much about them, because they are rare, elusive, and live at depths below 1,000 m (3,200 feet) in the waters around Antarctica. Only a few specimens have ever been observed by scientists, usually as bycatch in deep-sea fisheries. We asked marine scientist Nathan Robinson to design his dream mission using all the capabilities of our ship the #OceanXplorer. His answer? Find and observe a living colossal squid in the wild.

It was so exciting to have the opportunity to share my dream mission with you OceanX! My finger's are crossed that we can make this a reality!
I truly hope you do!
I have always loved following ocean discoveries and even the old myths around this animal. TBH my fear of the ocean is in part due to how little we know of it, and what lives in the depths. The rest is from submechnophobia, so only shallow water for me. Huge Thank you for what you do!!
God speed to you!
It’s interesting. When you feel you are the biggest squid, then there is one friend who are bigger than you; even named colossal..🤣🤣
There is always a bigger Squid!
@@simonjackson7269we don’t know
Amazing!! Hope seeing more Collosal squid footage soon👊
Facts! 🤣
I'll do my best to film it for you!
@@DrNathanRobinson thank you for your work.
So many things just waiting to be discovered, so exciting!
Fully agree!
Fuck. No. Please please please keep it away from me.
@@TheMountainMan-wz8xf Don’t worry, you won’t use a boat.
Use a plane.
can't wait for him to make his dreams come true.
Thank you! Your message has made my day!
he's living our dreams >__>
Haha. Thanks!
i donno I think theres a good chance you might catch footage of sperm whales feeding for the first time rather than seeing them alive XD
first 20 seconds , I WANT IN !!!!! omfg a dream !
Let's go dude! go get that Colossal squid footage! I was born in 2007 when the first footage of a live colossal squid was captured, so now I'm counting on you to capture the footage of one in it's natural habitat! good luck!
Yeah, it would be a shame if we have to go 4546b to see a leviathan class predator
Finally some Subnautica comment! 😂
I've been waiting for this expedition for years !!! AWESOME.
Me too!
@@DrNathanRobinson any update on the expedition?
@@valkkyrr yeah, any updates????
@@DrNathanRobinson Could it happen that a Sperm Whale gets in your Way during your search in the Deep Sea? can it be dangerous? best regards and good luck!!!!
I Always Wanted to do that too
Sound exicting!
Cath 'em all, Nate! (on camera) :)
Haha. Thank you!
i'm excited
giant squid is longer. Colossal squid are definitely denser. also 1:52 that's a squid arm. Tentacles/clubs only have suckers at their oar shaped tips/clubs. Actually since it's you're dream squid the clubs of the colossal have rotating nightmare teeth.
There not longer
@@samuelgeorge7504 yup. at least no longer examples have ever been observed. They're bigger with regards to density. Did you ever see the monster quest in the sea of cortez? they showed a brief glimpse of a much larger squid in amongst the diablo rojas
@@TheAdequateMedia we still don’t know the size 💀
@@samuelgeorge7504 i know ! it really tickles my imagination wondering what their final form may truly be.
puts into perspective that whole "we don't know shit about 95% of all that salty ass water"
@@TheAdequateMedia we know☠️💀
Finally! I'm so excited to see this expedition to find the Colossal squid.
Haha. I've even more excited!
I also look forward to footage of other creatures that could be discovered as well! the deep sea is so interesting and exciting!
Give it a go! It's definitely worth it!😊
How smart would a giant squid or colossal squid be? Are they as intelligent as octopus?
Average squid already are so smarter 👍
Do you think the extinction of the hugs squid species would mean the extinction of sperm whales or do you think the can get by on fish and medium squids?
let him do that
May the force be with you! Squids, well cephalopods in general r my fav. I hope you guys have a ROV too so your not going all the way out there and limited to only man driven dives?
This dude is going to get eaten by a colossal squid …
I do believe the squid would tear that ROV the pieces. Unlike octopus, squid are a very ferocious, violent predators.
Yeah, because an ROV made of metal and plastic is totally gonna make a great meal for a squid
@@error13_genderexpunged it is not that, squid are extremely territorial and aggressive. Humboldt are perfect example of. Colossals are Humboldt on steroids.
Release the Kraken!
Good luck to find squidward,he don't want to be found.
This is gonne be like aproaching a dinosaur we dont even have a idea how big they can actually get what we wrote down on it are estimates thats scary as hell
I can't even watch it or listen in fear that I'm not going to like the outcome. Usually, when things are beautiful old & should be protected & left in their own, habitat!!! Although, normally they're, killed, caged, eaten & taken away from all that they've known that helped hem to be that beautiful in the first place!! Let's just say this: I certainly Hope & Pray, that this story revolves around the first opinion & not the latter... 💞 🙏 💞
Without studying we don't know whether they are threatened or fine to take any action to preserve them. But what you are saying is also true.
Mmmmm....giant calamari.
They like to attack submarines that for certain. Example: Captain Nemo's 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea. Documentary shown by Family Classis years ago.
I think he's not correct saying they are in deep canyons somewhere in the Southern Ocean. They are always in the same lakes I go to swim. Relatively close to the shore. Waiting.
please take this vessel to the marryana trench
I use those for live bait 😉
What
Kiwi?
Please!
Please what
When all the fish are dead.
I know this is hard but can you CATCH a colossal squid and freeze it to preserve it for a long time?
Maybe we need godzilla

Sperm whale pods on a hunt for squid is the better & safer option. How to attach a camera or rov to sperm whale w/o interference or harm to the whale
It's been tried with suction devices to attached the camera, the best they got you see the tip of a tentacle ending up in front of the camera and staying there. Then the camera would detach and they find it with sonar.
So let me get this straight. You’re _not_ trying to get away from these monsters. You want to go find them, right? Something named Colossal and you want to go and bait it, to get it to come to you.
Alright, just wanted to air that out. Thank you.
Colossal squid can’t sink ships with their tentacles. Can you believe that?
Ads hurt the brand
Pls i wish i could join you. Im from germany and i would everything do to join this adventure. I wish you would see this and help me for my dream. I want to find new creatures and see things amd document it. I really want this but my mind is telling me that this will never be...
How relatable... same bro, i'm from Russia and always was want to be more close to nature and have a chances swims in sea or oceans, seeing all this underwater life and ecosystems, finds new species of anyone and anything and make new explorations and discoveries, helps a science to progress and helps a humanity to progress, and same, i can only dream about it, i understand you.
@@CamelliaFlingert we could have been so succsesful...
Imagine if those multi billionaires who are wasting all that money on outer space tourism spend that money on discovering our own planet……! If only.
Imagine being eaten by one... Lovely
U will find and the megalodon..
Nope meg is dead
Op
Wut
but the giant squid is longer
It’s not
It’s not
@@samuelgeorge7504 it's longer, not heavier
@@imdliamdragonlucha6827 we don’t know ☠️💀
@@imdliamdragonlucha6827 new estimates say the colossal squid is longer
Im the first here?
No
hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm stop the cap ehehhehe
what
It’s not cap
@@samuelgeorge7504 Omg. Sorry can uforgive me
@@efekeskin5338 nah wut
1:47. Epic photoshop dude
It’s not photo shop
The drawing is very exaggerated, giant squid are longer than the colossal squid, the colossal squid has a bigger body, but the tentacles and arms are shorter.
Thank you man, this animal has never been seen alive and we’ve only found a handful in all of our history but you seem to know all about them
@@mamberroi0935 the colossal squid? Yes, it happened at least once and was filmed it's pretty impressive, I'll look for it and try to give you the link. It was a fishing boat in Antarctica that had one hooked.
czcams.com/video/2qYMcxkPVCk/video.html
There you go I posted the link, they say 20 meters in the description, that's BS. It's the heaviest squid ever weighted, but not the longest, that record is for the giant squid architeutis!😉
Actually we don't know what one is longer only one specimen of the colossal squid has been found we know they weigh double that of a giant squid and it's very possible the kraken stories had some truth in the colossal squid not the giant squid. The colossal squid is twice as wide at 2-3 meters on the one specimen we have.
Go to atlanta inside the gay club, u can see many giant colossal squid there
So wrong! Why didn't you put him back in the ocean where he belongs!!! You are doing nothing to keep them from going extinct by locking the squid in Aquarium prison!! When things are beautiful, old, and rare, they should be protected and left in their own habitat!!!
What
Nope.
Yes
