National Geographic has pictures of the first living giant squid captured on film here. There’s video footage here. The always excellent SquidBlog (run by philosopher Jeremy Aarons) has been a bit quiet recently, but perhaps the news will revitalise it.

(One last thing: those of you who are not (yet) obssessed with giant squid might not have come across Baterz’ astonishing squid song. Put that right immediately.)
