Hunt for the Giant Squid | SPECIAL | Nat Geo Animals

[@jrchmgn.]

As always Sir David Attenborough narration is one of a kind. Thanks for the video.

It’s the only reason why I stopped flipping and decided to watch it lol

Is he dead ? I haven’t heard from him in a while

AI voice over

[@Ye4rZero]

@@CharlesNewkirk-lb6uh I doubt National Geographic would do something that's quite insulting to Attenborough

[@jamescorless8283]

I love David attenburough, I'm 62 years old. He was around in the late 60s when I was 6 or 7 watching national geographic on TV. Before colored television.

[@sunkenchesttreasurehunting8972]

That is awesome! 😊

[@kop-uv2dx]

he will forever be THE narrating voice for nature documentaries...

[@besearchingforwisdom6267]

Amazing and creative God of wonders. Thank you Lord GOD BLESS THE Servants of the Lord

[@growingmelancholy8374]

That's sad.

[@eelboy]

That's so cool! I'm 16 now, but when I was little, David Attenborough was the one telling me all about nature. It's amazing how one person can impact so many different people.

[@stormriderkaos]

NatGeo PLEASE put (2011) after the title so we know when this episode aired. Thank you.

[@apulschluz9038]

Yees!

[@MaryGraceFrias-t5h]

I just thought it was new

[@growingmelancholy8374]

No. This is eternal.

[@neutrongarbage]

Hey please at least be accurate in your request, this is from 2019. It says so right at the end of the documentary, if you were paying attention. You must have looked up something with a similar name on IMDB and figured it was the same thing. It's not. This is from 2019 and it's very obvious if you watch the credits, as they have a copyright from NHK and National Geographic.

[@LoneWolf-oz2mq]

Just as I love isolated scenic places in the world versus busy crowded cities, I love learning about the deep seas that are so rarely explored. I hope these different research vessels can explore more of the deep sea before it completely changes. I Love when Sir David Attenborough narrates videos.

[@WildExpeditions2025]

It's incredible to witness the vivid footage of the Kondakovia longimana squid in its natural habitat!

[@mikemurphy5898]

Or as I like to call them "Phil."

[@oceyocelot]

Beautiful documentary! Sir David Attenburough is a pleasure as always. Hopefully the teams will eventually capture footage of the colossal squid in the antarctic.

Amazing and creative God of wonders. Thank you Lord GOD BLESS THE Servants of the Lord

[@Allansybesma]

They have it came up next to a ship and someone lucky to video it.

[@NatGeoAnimals]

What did you find most fascinating about the colossal squid?

[@1DrElectric]

@@NatGeoAnimals That was probable a baby one. Have they ever caught younglings or juveniles.

[@SandraNelson063]

​@@NatGeoAnimalsIts REAL!! Not an old sea dog myth! What else could be real? Bless Jacque Cousteau!

[@AnimalPlanetJourney]

This was like diving into a whole new world. The detailed exploration of polar gigantism and the colossal squid was both thrilling and educational.

[@besearchingforwisdom6267]

Amazing and creative God of wonders. Thank you Lord GOD BLESS THE Servants of the Lord

[@angelitabecerra]

A Colossal Squid as by-catch is insanity. I'm all for studying these beautiful creatures so we can preserve them.

[@mikemurphy5898]

Does anyone else find themselves pausing every 2 seconds to screen shot underwater. It's absolutely amazing... beautiful... stunning; there are barely words to describe it. I keep trying to tell myself to just watch and enjoy the video but I can't, I keep being blown away by the videography

[@Armando-913]

no we don't..u weirdo

[@dp.1212]

"These are the voyages of The Alucia. Her 5 year mission, to explore strange continents, to seek out new life and lifeforms, to boldly go where no one has ever gone before" 😏 That moment when you realize that our world still holds as much mysteries as the space out there 😮

[@mikemurphy5898]

Maybe not "as much" as outer space. 😊 But I see your point. There are still many mysteries to uncover and adventures to be had, right here on planet Earth.

[@ro4eva]

Since you brought it up, I just wanted to say that I am SO HAPPY with Star Trek: Strange New Worlds. For me, it's the best thing since The Next Generation. Can't wait for Season 3 Episode 1. Personally, I find the Gorn to be terrifying.

[@MichaelStewart-h9c]

That jellyfish is by far my favorite jellyfish!

[@Eric-qo8vv]

I’m from New England 50 winters here I hate the cold but what I’d give to visit Antarctica!! Please respect this majestic place and it’s critters

[@WeeToo-j4l]

Heaven will be glad to have Sir David up there narrating to them one day. Let’s hope Gods doesn’t hog him all to himself, I probably would.

[@melissazaragoza5296]

I love all of David's documentaries ❤❤❤

[@amsf1]

Just imagine the other large beings in our oceans we haven't yet discovered.... It always amazes me that scientists are shocked when they find so much life in places like this.... Its because you aren't believers. Open your mind to possibilities that are beyond your comprehension and youll be amazed at what you encounter throughout this life. Your hubris many times is your biggest obstacle.

Let’s give David Attenborough his flowers since nat geo didn’t credit the marvelous narrator ❤

[@rexijay]

This is just astounding! Makes me further realize how big Earth is, lest how huge is the universe. And with the abundance life on earth, the universe would definitely be just a waste of space....unless earth is just unique and special.

i'm never gettin in the ocean again, forget looking up there for aliens, lets just check down there first !!?

[@JackRoyal82]

18:00.. the two guys in the footage were arguing about its weight, one said 50kg and the other jokingly said that it was about 2000kg

Wow! One of my favorite movies is The Meg. You're showing things about the ocean that were in The Meg, including the use of submersibles. This is a great documentary. Thanks.

When i was a child these were still considered a myth. Now imagine all the myths that still exist that havent been discovered

[@SVGEMSTAR27]

Does this mean that when the ice has melted, will the whole food chain collapse ?. Gerard.

[@grghkllb3875]

Very likely. Without the krill, which feed on the algae in the ice, the food chain could very well collapse.

[@SVGEMSTAR27]

@grghkllb3875 That would mean the whole ecosystem and all wildlife will vanish. That would be a great loss to our present day.

[@Theo-ul8qm]

I'm not sure about the oxygen hypothesis with the gigantism. Animals at the poles do seem larger than their relatives in warm waters, but warm waters also have giant animals, possibly in even higher numbers than cold waters. Whale sharks, great whites, manta rays and even blue whales all live in warmer waters, and not at the poles. So clearly warmer waters can support large animals too.

That camera alone prolly cost more than my car

[@ballistic350]

Should've used that machine to go view the titanic 😂

[@jimmykreutz6087]

Gigantism is i think, in part because of the same reason dinos grown to extraordinary sizes because of oxygen levels back then were so high just as polar water is able to carry more oxygen than warmer waters .

Wow! How old is this documentary? The kid at 16:02 just took a picture with a disposable camera. 😂

[@babakgholian3467]

If humans let them thrive !!!!

[@golddee2040]

Sounds like they need to have different batteries for the lights in the submersible. You know? Like how people with large systems in their car have a battery just to run their speakers?

[@madtownangler]

Mammals do the same thing size wise. Whitetail deer up in Canada are much much bigger than deer down in Texas. The colder the weather the bigger they get
