In Japan, two divers recently managed to capture rare images of a giant squid.
It’s an extraordinary discovery. Two Japanese divers recently managed to capture rare images of an 8-foot (2.5 m) squid swimming off the west coast of the Japanese archipelago, CNN reports.
“There he was, a giant squid”
Warned by a fishing equipment seller who spotted the sea creature near the surface in a bay, Yosuke Tanaka and his wife Miki, diving instructors in Toyooka, Hyogo Department, went straight to meet him.
And they weren’t disappointed with the trip… “There it was, a giant squid,” Tanaka told AFP. “I could see its tentacles moving. I thought it would be dangerous to be caught and carried away by this creature,” he added.
“It was exciting. I think there are few things more rare” than this show, he says again, amazed at the show.
The giant squid are known to develop in the waters near Japan and sometimes wash up on its shores, but it’s very rare to see them swimming in the sea, reports La Provence.
