Transcript

00:31Pairs of curved hooks are clearly visible on the clubs at the ends of the two long tentacles,

00:36and the clubs are long and slender, with relatively small hooks giving way to small suckers about two-thirds of the way along the club.

00:43Hooks are also present in the middle section of each of the eight arms,

00:46which is the defining feature for Misonica toothis and is the basis for the genus name,

00:51Miso meaning mid, Oniko meaning hook, and toothis for squid.

00:56Large specimens of colossal squid do not resemble typical glass squids,

01:00but in this footage their similarity to other family members is clear.

01:04The red coloration of the arms and large rust-red chromatophores on the mantle suggest that the animal can switch between transparent and opaque.

01:12Witnessing this first encounter, documented as the Schmidt Ocean Institute's remotely operated vehicle,

01:20Sebastian, descended through the water column, is truly a thrilling experience.

01:24I'm Dr. Kat Bolstad, from the AUT Lab for Cephalopod Ecology and Systematic at Auckland University of Technology.

01:32We'll see you next week.
