Giant Squid Captured On Film By Team Of Japanese Scientists....

My 10 year-old son is fascinated by deep sea creatures and he can name many of them. He will be very excited when hears the news. He has asked me many questions about giant sea squid that I have been unable to answer and so we look up the answers on the internet.

"It's the holy grail of deep sea animals," he said. "It's one that we have never seen alive, and now someone has video of one."

New Zealand's leading authority on the giant squid, marine biologist Steve O'Shea, praised the Japanese team's feat.

"Through sheer ... determination the guy has gone on and done it," said O'Shea, chief marine scientist at the Auckland University of Technology, who is not linked to the Japanese research.

Its better than hearing some leftist drivel on Katrina, Cindy Sheehan or Iraq.
