National Geographic's Squid Cam

After luring the Jumbo Squid to the surface with bait, the National Geographic team sprang into action and managed to wrestle a video camera mounted to a synthetic sleeve over the squid and later capture first ever footage of jumbo squids acting naturally in their environment. The footage showed the squid "strobing red and white and flailing its arms" further suggesting that the squids communicate with colors. This was their 2nd attempt as the first camera had red LED lights that was not well received and was attacked. See the whole footage on "Dangerous Encounters With Brady Barr: Cannibal Squid" this Friday.

Very cool!

 

cool video, but the guys doing this kinda seem thick-headed don't they?

 

That might help when jumping in water to wrestle squids.

 

Very scary!! Guaranteed skid marks on the inside of his wet suit!
