World-first video footage of the elusive colossal squid has been captured by US researchers.
It lives in the deep Antarctic waters, can reach up to seven metres in length, and weighs up to 500 kilograms.
Schmidt Ocean Institute鈥檚 remote drone filmed a baby colossal squid alive 600 metres down in its environment for the first time.
