Giant squid caught on video for the second time

Dr. Widder, the founder of the Ocean Research and Conservation Association, was part of the team of scientists that in 2012 recorded the first video of a giant squid swimming in its natural habitat, off Japan’s Ogasawara archipelago. Dr. Robinson, the director the Cape Eleuthera Institute in the Bahamas, had been watching the videos that Medusa recorded on its latest expedition — a 15-day journey through the Gulf of Mexico, funded by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s Office of Ocean Exploration and Research, and called Journey Into Midnight: Light and Life Below the Twilight Zone. As part of the expedition, Dr. Widder was putting her Medusa camera lure to the test, to see if it could capture another squid in a different part of the world.
