Abstract in brief
- The giant squid Architeuthis, known as the largest invertebrate, was successfully photographed in its natural deep-sea habitat at 900 meters off the Ogasawara Islands, marking the first such observation in the wild.
- The images revealed the squid attacking bait, and a recovered severed tentacle helped confirm its identification and its impressive length of over 8 meters.
- The study suggests that Architeuthis is more active than previously believed, using its elongated feeding tentacles to actively hunt and capture prey in the deep ocean.]

my life into motion. This was the documentary that showed for the first time a Giant Squid, Architeuthis dux, alive in its natural habitat. Here is the paper associated with this documentary, written by Tsunemi Kubodera and Kyoichi Mori: doi:10.1098/rspb.2005.3158 3/13
The first time someone did manage to capture a photo of a live adult giant squid was in 2004. It was an expediation lead by Tsunemi Kubodera, a Japanese zoologist who had dedicated years of his life to tracking this elusive creature. source: https://t.co/6769f7YVjy
