Researchers in Japan have captured and filmed a live giant squid. Scientists from Japan’s National Science Museum caught the 3 and a half meters long creature off the island of Chichijima, 600 miles southeast of Tokyo. The team filmed the squid as they pulled it to the surface, after baiting it with a smaller species of squid.

It is the second time a live giant squid, the world’s largest invertebrate, has been caught on camera. The first photograph of a 8m-long live giant squid was taken by Japanese scientists in September 2005.
