A huge squid was caught on underwater camera attacking a ROV at around 1650 ft water depth in the Gulf of Mexico. The ROV hydraulic arm made an attempt to nudge the squid away but it held on firmly to its target until it gave up and left.

Is this a real giant squid or just a big squid?
"Dude, it's eating out shit, hit it or something!"
Scale. I need scale.

I'd wager that the ROV shown in the vid is similar to a Centurion QX series 200 or 300 -- LxWxH: 2500mm x 1700mm x 1700mm which would put that squid at around or less than 1.7m (based on positioning of the camera and the type of robotic arm)
>> ^StukaFox:
They're spineless, amazingly dumb and will attack things without reason or warning.
Cephalopods are known to be [one of] the most intelligent invertebrates (O_o') there are ... Humboldt (link to documentary @ amazon.com ) hunt schools of fish [voraciously] in large packs and have been known to cooperate and communicate quite well (think wolves and dolphins) ... plus, a brotha's gotta eat!
>> As such, they're know as The Republicans of the Sea.
Methinks your comment gives squid a bad name.
but:
1.7 meters of squid is still enough to make me never swim over deep water, ever again! urghhh!
