1. Thank you yui.

It is so beautiful! Never seen one like that.

2. At four meters, it's might be large enough to eat a human

A large predator without much of a cognitive mind is something to stay back from.

4. wait, wait.. wait...

Are you talking about the Squid or Donald Trump?

6. It has a blood spattered look

I was leery of clicking on the video link because of that thinking it could have been killed.

The spattering effect is so realistic that I wonder if it is some kind of survival evolution. Although I can't think of why. You'd think it would attract predators more than dissuade them.

7. I watched "Sphere" last night!

Giant squid play a big role. Samuel L. Jackson's character had a "thing" about squid!

Love this video and the music. Such a strange and majestic animal.

8. The tentacles have CLAWS!!!

Then you get dragged into a mouth with a bone shattering beak like a parrot that rips chunks out of you a pound at a time.

10. Squid in Japanese is

イカ = Ika. (prounouced: eeeka.)

11. Well...giant squid certainly can be said to put the "eek" in ecology!

I remember reading that long before scientists had ever glimpsed a giant squid, they had seen terrible sucker wounds on whales and could only guess at the size and fierceness of those denizens of the abyss.
