Upon completion of the 72 hour operation, a weight is dropped via acoustic release and the Medusa is retrieved with a davit and winch. 3 years ago.

Average and record.Giant squid only weigh around 600 lb, one orca can trash it.Giant squid are known to sometimes win against sperm whales.

I'm pretty sure they could take at least one orca.New comments cannot be posted and votes cannot be cast,More posts from the whowouldwin community.If you love to imagine the planet-exploding battles of the fictional gods who will never be, taking pointless knowledge gathered from a life spent reading and gaming and swinging it like a gladiator's sword in discussions on reddit... then welcome home, my friend.

The autonomous and compact observational instrumentation records video in ultra-low light conditions with a highly sensitive camera and DVR recording system.

Giant and colossal squid are very overrated due to exaggerated size measurements and people who use their total length to compare them to other sea creatures.What if the squid can attack the Orcas head and claw it up to the brain?Largest colossal squid: About 33 ft and 1,000-1500 pounds, and is a lethargic drifting ambush predator.Some people are smart, others only pretend to be. The giant squid (Architeuthis) was filmed for the first time in its natural habitat with help from ORCA’s Dr. Edie Widder. The Eye-in-the-Sea uses low light imaging in combination with far-red illumination that is invisible to most deep-sea animals. ALL RIGHTS RESERVED.) Is this a joke?

They main prey are beaked whales but in some time of the year they hunt giant squids. Press question mark to learn the rest of the keyboard shortcuts. was filmed for the first time in its natural habitat with help from ORCA’s Dr. Edie Widder.This achievement has been a long time coming.Giant squid reappears on video, this time in US waters,Scientists captured video of a giant squid.

If it gets the Orcas head, then it might be over!.

One of these was a new approach to deep ocean exploration that pays heed to the natural visual environment of the vast midwater realm that is home to these leviathans. Known as the electronic jellyfish or e-jelly the lure imitates the bioluminescent burglar alarm display of the common deep-sea jellyfish.Bioluminescent burglar alarms are a scream for help - the last ditch efforts of an animal that is caught in the clutches of a predator and has no other hope for survival than to attract the attention of a larger predator that may attack their attacker and thereby afford them an opportunity for escape.

There have been previous such expeditions - all failures. The colossal squid on the other hand is a quite dangerous animal. Widder was invited to join the expedition because of her successes with the Eye-in-the-Sea, a deep-sea camera observatory that she developed as a means of exploring the deep ocean unobtrusively. They both probably starve. Widder also developed a novel optical lure that imitates certain bioluminescent displays, thought to be attractive to large predators. The teams’ use of optical lures that imitate bioluminescence to attract the squid and far red light invisible to the squid in order to see without being seen proved to be the key to success.The expedition was initiated with financing from the Japan Broadcasting Corporation, NHK, which was inspired to undertake the high-risk endeavor - despite the failures of previous attempts - by the success of Japanese squid expert Dr. Tsunemi Kubodera who was the first person to capture still images of the Giant Squid using a baited underwater camera.Dr.

This is a world of the very dimmest of lights - both sunlight filtered through hundreds of meters of ocean and - bioluminescence - the living light that animals use to aid their survival in a light-limited world. This time was different. Epoxy encapsulated LED arrays offer virtually unobtrusive 'far red' illumination at a wavelength of 690 nanometers.

The beak of Mesonychoteuthis hamiltoni is the largest known of any squid, exceeding that of Architeuthis (giant squid) in size and in robustness.
