Damn Nature You Scary of the Day: Giant Squid Caught on Tape
After spending 400 hours over the course of 100 missions, Japan’s NHK TV crew has managed to film the mysterious sea creature for the first time ever. The squid was spotted last summer in the Pacific Ocean—at a depth of 630 meters about 1,000 kilometers south of Tokyo—during a joint expedition by the Japanese public broadcaster, Discovery Channel and the National Museum of Nature and Science. The footage will premiere in the upcoming Discovery Channel special documentary that will air on January 27.

The Foot-wide moth of the Himalayas
Meet the world’s largest moth, known as Attacus or Atlas, as it serenely sits on a road in north-east India.
With its astonishing 25cm or one foot wingspan, Sandesh Kadur was heading straight for this giant insect as he drove round the bend in the heart of the eastern Himalayas.
The moths, which do not have fully-formed mouths and survive off fat they built up as caterpillars, only live for a maximum of two weeks.

Frilled Shark
(…”We think it may have come to the surface because it was sick, or else it was weakened because it was in shallow waters,” a park official told the Reuters news service. But the truth may never be known, since the “living fossil” died hours after it was caught.”
Yeah let’s say we think it was probably already sick or weakened so people don’t think that the reason why this prehistoric, one of a kind animal died because it was completely destressed by being kidnapped from the sea and put into captivity.)
