Meanwhile, scientists have captured hunting skills of rare elusive giant squid under the deep sea in the gulf of Mexico. These creatures are hard to film as they live thousands of feet under the sea. Researchers used an unobtrusive camera platform to attract the elusive creature using a fake bioluminescent jellyfish. The marine biologists have for the first time, captured video of Architeuthis dux hunting prey under the deep sea in the gulf of Mexico. Experts previously believed that the squid waited before hunting its prey, but the new video contradicts the view as the creature is stalking the E-Jelly before attacking it.
