00:00For centuries, the giant squid was a ghost. Science owned only dead specimens and fragments
00:07found in whale stomachs. Then, one Japanese zoologist refused to give up. Tsunami Kubodur
00:13followed the sperm whales, because where the whales hunted, the squid had to be.
00:19On the 30th of September, 2004, 900 meters down near the Agasawara Islands, his camera
00:27fired. An 8-meter giant squid seized the bait and fought the lion for more than four hours,
00:33so hard it tore off one of its own tentacles. The Kragans' cousin was real, aggressive,
00:40and very much alive.
