Sperm Whale Hunting Giant Squid

Amazing Sperm Whale Cam footage reveals never-before-seen feeding behavior - 1000 meter below. Could it be the Giant Squid?

A team from Florida International University deployed several high-tech cameras on Sperm Whales, allowing us to experience amazing new behavior of the planet's largest predator.

Turns out the only thing preventing a squid invasion is whales.

We really should attempt this more often, Sperm Whales are quite possibly the best animals to help us capture Giant Squid footage.

Why isn’t this watched a billion times.

It Would Be Cool To See The Real Life Animal Fight Of A Sperm Whale And Giant Squid

Is this project still going on and do you have more footage?

Fascinating! A full screen video would have been nice. Subtitles covering 1/5th of the screen are not becoming to this video.

It's funny how 103 squids hated this video lol

Whale to another whale: “Geoff what’s that weird thing stuck to your back?”

Geoff: “No idea Steve. The humans stuck it on and ever since I feel someone has been watching me.”

We need more footage like this, attach it to the front of a whales head. Would be so great to have low light camera's catching a glimpse of a spermwhales actually hunting, killing and eating a giant squid.

"What will the next expedition reveal?" It's been 6 years, so, where are you hiding the giant squid vs whales footage?

[tkern]

Do people deploy camera like this that you can attach and when the memory gets full or the battery is low it can detach from the animal? I'm thinking of some simple logic where it detaches, deploys a small float filled by a CO2 cartridge, and a beacon that helps you locate it.

The ocean is just scary as hell, man. Those bigass whales are hundreds upon hundreds of feet deep underwater in the pitch black, hunting bigass squid. Idkkkk, the idea of it is just so unsettling to me. I love being on land, I love light LMAOOO

I was waiting for this since i was 5 years old

[jcows]

Lets face it, sperm whales probably are no more harmed by squid than a fox is by a rabbit. Probably their main food source.

[slinkerdeer]

4 years and no update, wtf happened to "next expedition"?

[trickysnacks]

that tentacle looks like a giant tongue

[emiliobertrandbungegonzale]

Probably the most terrifying way of getting your meal

[amazingcereal]

we are so close to seeing an actual battle

[chasehensley]

Imagine hearing the clicks while diving then u see that behind you
