So some bods finally photograph a giant squid in it's natural environment. And how do they achieve this feat? With hooks and bait.

Nice one.

I hardly call a giant squid struggling to escape from a home-made mace and ripping off one of it's own tentacles "natural".

"Kubodera and Mori took more than 550 images of the giant squid as it made repeated attempts to detach itself."

So they sat watching it struggle, filled with glee at what they'd done? I know millions and millions of fish are caught and eaten daily, but a marine creature we know nothing about should be approached with more care, in my opinion. Just seemed a bit cruel to send down a nice treat, then fill the treat with hooks, to photograph a creature we know nothing about. Pah, what do the Japanese know about marine conservation?
