Dear People of the World:
Congratulations on finally photographing me in my natural habitat! As you note in your numerous articles and television reports, this is remarkable because giant squids like me live several thousand feet below the ocean’s surface where humans like you cannot venture. But thanks to your advanced technology, ingenuity and commendable persistence you now have images of me, the largest invertebrate on Earth, alive and well and doing what I do, which is mostly eating and swimming around. Good job.
I have to hand it to you, using that bag of shrimp to lure me into view was brilliant on your part. I do like me some shrimp. Sure, it made me look a little foolish. Plus there was the whole accidentally-ripping-off-one-of-my-tentacles thing. But, hey, no hard feelings: I’m the kind of enormous flesh-eating sea monster who can take a joke. So don’t worry about me trying to exact any kind of justifiable revenge should I happen upon a member of your bite-sized species wriggling helplessly in my watery domain.
best,
The Giant Squid
