Scale. I need scale.

Is this a real giant squid or just a big squid?

Zoidberg?

To quote Red Dwarf: "It will either eat us, fight us.... or hump us!"

It looks like a Humbolt Squid. They're spineless, amazingly dumb and will attack things without reason or warning. As such, they're know as The Republicans of the Sea.

I would love to hear the guys watching this video and working the arm.

"Dude, it's eating out shit, hit it or something!"

20,000 Leagues Under The Sea, reenactment!

calamari, anyone?

I'd wager that the ROV shown in the vid is similar to a Centurion QX series 200 or 300 -- LxWxH: 2500mm x 1700mm x 1700mm which would put that squid at around or less than 1.7m (based on positioning of the camera and the type of robotic arm)

Cephalopods are known to be [one of] the most intelligent invertebrates (O_o') there are ... Humboldt (link to documentary @ amazon.com ) hunt schools of fish [voraciously] in large packs and have been known to cooperate and communicate quite well (think wolves and dolphins) ... plus, a brotha's gotta eat!

Methinks your comment gives squid a bad name.

Woah!

but:

1.7 meters of squid is still enough to make me never swim over deep water, ever again! urghhh!

The squid needs to get a boner
