Giant Squid Video Stock Footage
The number of different giant squid species has been debated, but recent genetic research suggests that only one species exists. In 2004, Japanese researchers took the first images of a live giant squid in its natural habitat, and in July 2012, a live adult was first filmed in its natural habitat off Chichijima. In 2015, another video sighting was released. In June 2019, scientists reported the video appearance, for the second time, and for the first time in waters of the United States, of a giant squid in its deepwater habitat.
