Dive into the deep sea to find giant squids, and explore what scientists have learned about these mysterious creatures.

--

In 1873, fishermen glimpsed what they thought was a shipwreck. But when they probed the mass, it moved— and huge, serpentine appendages soon besieged their boat. One fisherman took an axe to the animal, and it disappeared in a cloud of ink, leaving behind definitive evidence that giant squids were more than mythical monsters. So, what do we know about these creatures? Anna Rothschild investigates.

Lesson by Anna Rothschild, directed by Vitalii Nebelskyi, and action creative agency.
