Full Version: When will we find Giant Squid ALIVE?
When do you think?
add another choice. "eventually" is what i would put. i cant say our lifetime, i cant say this year, and im pretty sure as long as we keep looking, we will eventually find.
in our life time cuz as we advance in technology the better subs we get the deeper in the ocean we can go to find these things.
i agree 
A scientist has found the babies that are only mm long, and he done this by a long search with a net in the known, or speculated breeding grows. And all the little squid he caught he DNA tested against the remains of what washes up on the beaches or in whales stomachs and he got a match. But as yet not the huge parents!

I would have to agree with DL but since there is not I went with lifetime (Mine not so long any more
).
This year, never, not in our lifetime?
You can make up to ten choices. Why not have...
1-10 years
10-20 years
-so on
90+/never

it's just difficult becasue they live so deep in the ocean. it can be done, but it's jsut very hard.
should put more choices because for some people the second and third choice is the same. but i say in my life time or the next but it WILL be found
but i say in my life time or the next but it WILL be found
Seeing as how weve already proven them real.. and we have the general area where they like to stay.. then i think it very possible that we will find a live one in our lifetime.
In our lifetime. Maybe in the next 20+ years?
Not sure why.
Not sure why.
Well, we already have.
Giant Squids are quite often hauled up in fishing nets. They die within minutes and are usually only barely alive at all of course.
And then there was the baby Giant Sqids captured by Dr. Steve O'Shea, which died in captivity.

i doubt we will never find a giant squid alive, i mean if they are caught they tend to die very quickly, and if we raise them in captivity they die, plus they swim and live to deep to study there, best we can hope for is dead specimens, unless some serious advances in marine biology are made...
Indeed, what we have seen alive are poor examples.
The only real way we would see them alive is getting down to their habitat, since they cannot survive in ours.

well you wouldn't get mr_halo down there in the big dark and wet
I'd love to get down there and see the sights in somekind of submersible.
In the near future i'm sure we'll have crafts capable of baring such pressures with ease, allowing humans are more indepth look atbthe deep sea and it's inhabitants.

ok when they can get me a submersible that has no chance of imploding or leaking or getting attacked by giant squids or other big creatures i'll go down and have a look
