Here’s what you’ll learn when you read this story:Although its the largest invertebrate species in the world, scientists have never glimpsed the colossal squid (Mesonychoteuthis hamiltoni) in its natural habitat. However, a non-profit ocean research team named Kolossal may have finally spotted a juvenile colossal squid as it traversed the waters around Antarctica. One of the most spellbinding of these animals is the colossal squid (Mesonychoteuthis hamiltoni). Thankfully, the research team released the footage, which the website IFLScience promptly posted to YouTube. But because footage of any squid species in the Southern Ocean is rare, the footage is a huge victory for marine biologists studying these famously elusive animals regardless of its contents.
