I LOVE the Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute! They do so many interesting things, from animal research to ROVs and AUVs (remotely operated vehicle; autonomous underwater vehicle – both topics for another day) But a gift tonight, esp on a Friday night of a busy week, is a video from them of a number of clips of squids in the depths doing what they do best – fluidly moving through their environment. Enjoy the video!

The Post – A Different Kind of Undersea Video – But Amazing!
January 3, 2011I love ocean creatures – I frequently paint them. Never could scuba dive – ear problems – but I love undersea documentaries, and Jacques Cousteau was my childhood hero.
In that vein, here’s a Showtime Short video that’s “real” in how the animals act and hunt and move, but “unreal” in origin. I could watch it for hours and I admire the amount of creativity that went into it.
Here you go – from Showtime Shorts. What a neat piece of work. Enjoy!
