Scientists working with the Schmidt Ocean Institute reveal the first footage of two elusive sea animals: the colossal squid and a type of glass squid.

There's some humor in the first captured video being of a teensy little juvenile, but I'm sure the scientists are thrilled!

You can’t fool me, Galiteuthis. I know you’re a baby reaper leviathan.

I’m grateful for these glimpses of the persistence of life. I wish we could all be in such awe of the beauty and frailty of life.

Honestly, it's so nice to see beautiful things like this on CNN instead of you know who. It brings some inner peace and hope: things we desperately need right now. So thanks, CNN.

Respect for these lovely creatures of the deep ocean.. And the brave explorers and scientists and vastly improved diving technology

So cool. Something added to the video for size reference would have been nice.

It looks like a jelly fish combined with a squid.

[jasoninmichigan]

[StuGooRoo]

Out of curiosity, how do they estimate size without a reference point? Use the other fish of a known estimated size? Have two cameras and calculate based on the parallax?

[thzzzt]

Without a frame of reference it could be an inch long.

It needs a lot of flour, oil and lemons.

A monster calamari, dinner for everyone. Manga, manga. But save room for dessert!!

There will be creatures that will be seen before and during the transformation.
This is prophecy.
