#ColossalSquid filmed by scientists for first time in #ocean
The 30cm-long (11.8in) juvenile was caught on camera at a depth of 600m (1,968ft), near the South Sandwich Islands in the south #Atlantic Ocean. Little is known about colossal #squid's life cycle, but they eventually lose the transpaent appearance of juveniles. Experts believe colossal #squid can grow up to 7m (23ft) in length and weigh up to 500kg (1,100lb) - making them the heaviest #invertebrate on Earth.

Schneier on Security · Friday Squid Blogging: US Naval Ship Attacked by Squid in 1978 - Schneier on SecurityInteresting story: USS Stein was underway when her anti-submarine sonar gear suddenly stopped working. On returning to port and putting the ship in a drydock, engineers observed many deep scratches in the sonar dome’s rubber “NOFOUL” coating. In some areas, the coating was described as being shredded, with rips up to four feet long. Large claws were left embedded at the bottom of most of the scratches. As usual, you can also use this squid post to talk about the security stories in the news that I haven’t covered.

Schneier on Security · Friday Squid Blogging: Pet Squid Simulation - Schneier on SecurityFrom Hackaday.com, this is a neural network simulation of a pet squid. Autonomous Behavior: The squid moves autonomously, making decisions based on his current state (hunger, sleepiness, etc.). Implements a vision cone for food detection, simulating realistic foraging behavior. Neural network can make decisions and form associations. Weights are analysed, tweaked and trained by Hebbian learning algorithm. Experiences from short-term and long-term memory can influence decision-making. Squid can create new neurons in response to his environment (Neurogenesis) ...

The colossal #squid was first described in 1925 based on specimens from the stomach of a commercially hunted sperm whale.

Now, an international voyage captured the first confirmed video of this #species in its natural habitat—a 30-centimeter juvenile, at a depth of 600 meters.

Colossal squid can grow up to 7 meters and weigh 500 kilograms, making them the heaviest invertebrate on the planet.

But little is known about their life cycle.
