The animal (#549 on this list) is seen feeding on a 1-metre-long Thysanoteuthis rhombus (diamondback squid), which was used as bait in conjunction with a flashing squid jig.Widder, 2013a, b The giant squid's silvery-metallic appearance came as a surprise to the expedition team, and had never been observed previously (stranded specimens invariably have reddish skin, if it is preserved at all).Lyden, 2013; Frazer, 2013]]

This list of giant squid specimens and sightings from the 21st century is a comprehensive timeline of recent human encounters with members of the genus Architeuthis, popularly known as giant squid. It includes animals that were caught by fishermen, found washed ashore, recovered (in whole or in part) from sperm whales and other predatory species, as well as those reliably sighted at sea. The list also covers specimens incorrectly assigned to the genus Architeuthis in original descriptions or later publications.

The beginning of the 21st century marked a turning point in humanity's understanding of the life habits of the giant squid, as it ushered in the first visually documented and incontrovertible observations of live animals, both adult and paralarval.Dery, 2013; Mullen, 2013; Schrope, 2013; Guerra, 2022 The quest to photograph or film a live giant squid—mooted since at least the 1960s{{refn|group=nb|name=Aldrich}}—had begun in earnest in the 1980s and intensified significantly in the following decade, with several multi-million-dollar expeditions launched in the late 1990s. While these were all unsuccessful, they were followed by a steady stream of live giant squid "firsts" in the nascent years of the 21st century, and spurred further efforts that ultimately culminated in the first footage of live giant squid in their natural deep-ocean habitat—recorded off Japan's Ogasawara Islands in 2012.

The turn of the century also roughly coincided with a shift in the way new giant squid specimens were reported and information on them was disseminated. The rapidly growing popularity of the World Wide Web resulted in a proliferation of both online news sources and platforms for sharing and discussing said news, the latter facilitating a never-before-seen level of engagement between professional teuthologists and amateur enthusiasts.{{refn|group=nb|name=WWW|An early example were the giant squid expeditions of 1997 and 1999, the progress of which could be tracked through online expedition journals that provided daily updates, many of them written by expedition leader and giant squid expert Clyde Roper.Roper et al., 1997, 1999; T. Allen, 1997 Also of note were the online contributions of marine biologist and giant squid expert Steve O'Shea, particularly in the first decade of the 21st century. During this time O'Shea was active on TONMO (The Octopus News Magazine Online), a website and forum for cephalopod enthusiasts,Monks, 2013 on which he often discussed and provided first-hand information on new giant squid finds.Morelli, 2002b; O'Shea, 2008 O'Shea put considerable effort into lowering the maximum size of the giant squid as reported in the media, especially the oft-quoted total length of {{convert|18|m|ft|abbr=on}}, which he countered with a more realistic {{convert|13|m|ft|abbr=on}} based on the many specimens he had personally examined.O'Shea, 2003b; Hoff, 2003:91; O'Shea & Bolstad, 2008; Dery, 2013}} Consequently, much of the information on recent specimens is drawn from online rather than print sources, though scholarly papers continue to be published on individual specimens.e.g. Leite et al., 2016; Funaki, 2017; Shimada et al., 2017; Guerra et al., 2018; Romanov et al., 2018 There exists a sizeable internet community of giant squid enthusiasts, and developments in the field—particularly videos of live animals—generate considerable excitement online,Monks, 2013; Widder, 2021:270, 273 a phenomenon that has been described as "giant squid mania".Cronin, 2016

Giant squid are generally considered inedible owing to the high concentration of ammonium chloride in their tissues, which renders them exceptionally bitter.Iida et al., 1992; Roper & Jereb, 2010:123{{refn|group=nb|name=taste|Giant squid expert Clyde Roper once tried a piece sautéed in olive oil and garlic, describing it as "absolutely awful [...] very, very bitter".Morris, 2000; see also Knight, 2000}} However, processing methods to make them more palatable have been investigated, with drying and boiling showing some success.H.-Y. Park et al., 2011 Beginning in the 2010s, a number of specimens have been prepared by hard curing, with some of these served for human consumption (e.g. #598, 603, and 617). Other forms of preparation have also been tried (e.g. #558, 602, 678, and 681), with occasional dubious claims of specimens being eaten raw (e.g. #83).

Though the total number of recorded giant squid specimens now runs into the hundreds, the species remains notoriously elusive and little known, and has retained its status as a "quasi-mythical" animal.James Barrat quoted in Ribas, 2010 By the turn of the 21st century, the giant squid remained one of the few truly large extant megafauna to have never been photographed alive, either in the wild or in captivity. Marine writer and artist Richard Ellis described it as "the most elusive image in natural history".Ellis, 1998:211 Acquiring footage of the animal in its natural habitat became "the holy grail of natural history cinematography".DeFede, 2019; Widder, 2021:246; see similar statements in McCarey & Rubin, 1998; E. Young, 2003; Dunleavy, 2012

== Early expeditions ==

=== 1986–1990: Beebe Project ===

Though there had been proposals since at least the 1960s,{{refn|group=nb|name=Aldrich|In the summer of 1965, marine biologist Frederick Aldrich had enquired about using the recently commissioned manned deep-ocean research submersible DSV Alvin to study the life habits of the giant squid (he included a photo of #169 with his letter), but the idea never progressed due to funding issues. The original proposal for Aluminaut, another manned submersible launched around the same time as Alvin, also mentioned the giant squid, but this project was never realised either.Oreskes, 2003:716; Oreskes, 2014:29; see also Downer, 1965:8 In a 1974 interview with The Los Angeles Times, Aldrich said: "I've got to get me a live giant [...] We will use lights, chopped-up shark as bait in a basket, a big jig. Divers will walk the beast into the boat."Hillinger, 1974; Ellis, 1998:243 Jon Lien—once a member of Aldrich's "squid squad"—wrote: "I'm not sure how successful the jigger would have been in landing the squid; it worked quite well in recruiting assistant professors."Lien, 2000:277 Even earlier, science fiction writer Arthur C. Clarke had explored the idea of catching and filming a live giant squid in the short story "Big Game Hunt" and the novel The Deep Range, both published in 1957.Clarke, 1992:72; Ellis, 1998:183–184}} the first dedicated effort to capture a glimpse of the animal in its natural habitat was probably the Beebe Project, initiated in 1986 and named after pioneering deep-sea explorer William Beebe. Like Beebe's original dives, it was initially conducted off Bermuda, which was not known for giant squidEllis, 1998:244 (but see #191). In addition to finding the giant squid, the expedition's other main objective was the study of six-gill sharks of the genus Hexanchus.Wilford, 1987; #LoatesNd The three-person submersible Pisces VI and the four-person Johnson Sea Link were used, the former reaching a maximum depth of {{convert|1.5|mi|km}}.#LoatesNd Financed primarily by NOAA and organised and led by National Geographic photographer Emory Kristof, the expedition involved scientists from numerous universities and scientific institutions, including shark specialist Eugenie Clark and underwater explorer Joseph B. MacInnis; wildlife artist Glen Loates, known for his naturalistic depictions of the giant squid, was also involved.Wilford, 1987; [Anon.], 2013g; #LoatesNd

The expedition relocated to Newfoundland in 1988, at which point it was joined by giant squid expert Frederick Aldrich of the Memorial University of Newfoundland.[Anon.], 1988b; Walsh, 1988; Thurston, 1989; [Anon.], 1989a; McCarey & Rubin, 1998; see also [Anon.], 1989b for talks given by Aldrich about the Beebe Project in 1988–1989 A series of seven dives to {{convert|300|–|1000|ft|m|abbr=on|sigfig=1}} depth, lasting up to 10 hours each, were undertaken {{convert|8|–|50|mi|km}} east-northeast of Bonavista Bay on 7–11 November 1988, this time using the Canadian Navy's SLD-1 submersible and the diving support vessel HMCS Cormorant.[Anon.], 1988a, c; Whitaker, 1988; [Anon.], 1989a, b In 1989, Aldrich filmed a program about the giant squid for Fuji TV in Japan.[Anon.], 1989b Efforts continued until at least 1990; at one point, a "gigantic squid jig, painted bright red and outfitted with numerous hooks" was trialled, as was "hundreds of pounds" of raw tuna,Whitaker, 1988 but all attempts proved unsuccessful.

=== 1993: misidentified live specimen ===

A photograph purporting to show a live Architeuthis dux alongside a diver was published in the 1993 book European Seashells,Poppe & Goto, 1993:pl. 28 fig. 1 but this turned out to be a sick or dying Onykia robustaEllis, 1998:211; Norman, 2000:174 (misidentification #[7]). Richard Ellis wrote: "Fortunately for those who have devoted their lives to searching for Architeuthis, this was only an aberration, a case of mistaken identity."

=== 1996–2001: Smithsonian expeditions and increasing global interest ===

After years of planning, a series of further expeditions aimed at capturing footage of a live giant squid in its natural habitat were mounted in the late 1990s,Pope, 1994; Fisher, 1995; Judd, 1996; Conniff, 1996; [Anon.], 1996 but all were unsuccessful.Knight, 2000 The three Smithsonian-backed efforts comprised a smaller-scale undertaking in the Azores{{refn|group=nb|name=Azores|Expedition leader Clyde Roper learned from Azorean former sperm whalers—who had practiced open-boat whaling into the latter half of the 20th century—that they would often see their quarry regurgitating giant squid after being harpooned.Conniff, 1996; Ellis, 2005:149}} in July 1996 and two major expeditions—known as "In Search of Giant Squid"{{refn|group=nb|name=insearch|A permanent exhibition of nearly identical name, "In Search of Giant Squids", opened at the Smithsonian's National Museum of Natural History on 27 May 1994. Curated by Clyde Roper, it included a "bioluminescent giant squid, able to flash blue-green light".[Anon.], 1994}}—to Kaikōura Canyon off New Zealand in January–March 1997 and February–March 1999 (the former covered by National GeographicT. Allen, 1997; McCarey & Rubin, 1998 and also sponsored by the New England Aquarium,Ellis, 1998:3 and the latter including a BBC Television unit[Anon.], 2002c). These expeditions—the latter two each costing around US$10 million (equivalent to ${{Inflation|US|10|1999|r=0}} million in {{Inflation/year|US}})—employed a combination of sperm whale–mounted crittercams, baited "ropecams" or "drop-cams", an Odyssey IIB unmanned underwater vehicle, and the single-person submersible Deep Rover.Fisher, 1997; Ellis, 1997a, b, 2005:145; L. Allen, 1997; McCarey & Rubin, 1998; Morris, 2000; Grzelewski, 2002 All three were led by giant squid expert Clyde Roper, with the first two also involving marine biologist Malcolm ClarkeMcCarey & Rubin, 1998; Herring, 2014:115; Rodhouse et al., 2015:868; Gomes-Pereira et al., 2017:823 and the last two Steve O'Shea of NIWA; additionally, National Geographic photographer Emory Kristof took part in the first Kaikoura expedition and oceanographer Gene Carl Feldman in the second.Roper et al., 1997, 1999; Roper, 1998a, b, 2000, 2006, 2013; Morris, 2000; see also #NMNHNd; #SINd{{refn|group=nb|name=Benchley|Beast author Peter Benchley was originally meant to chronicle the first Kaikoura expedition but had to withdraw "at the last minute" due to back problems.}} The Azores and first New Zealand expeditions were the subject of the 1998 National Geographic documentary Sea Monsters: Search for the Giant Squid;McCarey & Rubin, 1998 the second New Zealand expedition was the subject of the Discovery Channel's Quest for the Giant Squid, released in 2000.Sarsby, 2000; Zad, 2000

Marine writer and artist Richard Ellis joined the first of the New Zealand expeditions and, in 1998, released a popular nonfiction book, The Search for the Giant Squid, further raising interest in the pursuit of a live animal.Miller, 1996; Ellis, 1998 In 2000, Roper said: "I would guess at this point a half a dozen individuals or groups would like to find one." Oceanographic explorer Jean-Michel Cousteau, son of Jacques-Yves Cousteau, led another unsuccessful expedition to New Zealand that ended in early 2001.[Anon.], 2001d; see also Knight, 2000; Grann, 2004

=== 2001–2002: first videos of live paralarvae and first photographs of live adults ===

In February 2001, a team led by Steve O'Shea and also including Malcolm Clarke and Chung Cheng Lu succeeded in capturing the first footage of a live giant squid when they caught and filmed several paralarval individuals measuring {{convert|9|–|13|mm|in|abbr=on}} in total length (#444).Baird, 2002; P. Young, 2002; E. Young, 2003; Ellis, 2005:146–147 The expedition involved the NIWA research vessels RV Kaharoa and RV Tangaroa, and the New Zealand fishing trawler Tasman Viking. Seven live individuals were retrieved in 12 days from some 100 tows. However, attempts by aquaculturist Mike Tait to simulate their natural conditions in a tank proved unsuccessful and all the paralarvae soon died. The expedition was the subject of the Discovery Channel documentary Chasing Giants: On the Trail of the Giant Squid, first aired in 2002.

This milestone was followed by the first images of a live adult giant squid (at the surface) on 15 January 2002, near Goshiki beach in Amino-cho, Kyoto Prefecture, Japan (#464).{{refn|group=nb|name=Uradome|Though see specimen #323 from Tottori Prefecture, Japan, which was reportedly still alive when found stranded in shallow water on 16 April 1988, where it was photographed in situ.Wada et al., 2014:67, fig. 1}} The animal, which measured about {{convert|2|m|ft|abbr=on}} in mantle length and {{convert|4|m|ft|abbr=on}} including the head and arms, was found near the water's surface. It was captured and tied to a quay, where it died overnight.[Anon.], 2002b; O'Shea, 2003f; Martin, 2006; Hellwarth, 2012; Gallant, 2016:47 These images were joined by a number of little-publicised photographs of live adults at the surface off Okinawa (#472, 473, and 488).{{refn|group=nb|name=live|A number of photographs of live adult giant squid at the surface off Okinawa came to light in 2003 (#472 and 473),[Anon.], {{circa}} 2003; Kubodera, 2010:39 but it is uncertain when these were taken.O'Shea, 2003g; Eyden, 2006 Another live animal was photographed at the surface in the same area on 15 April 2004 (#488).[Anon.], 2004a}}

Renewed interest in filming a live giant squid followed the 2001 recording of an enormous specimen of bigfin squid (likely of the family Magnapinnidae) at great depth off Hawaii, which received global media attention,Morelli, 2002a and the observation of a possible giant squid egg mass in early 2002 (later determined to be that of Nototodarus gouldi—misidentification #[9]).[Anon.], 2002d This was followed by further efforts by O'Shea to capture live paralarval specimens.Morelli, 2002b; Cappello, 2004; Grann, 2004

=== 2002–2003: ''Proyecto Kraken'' and other unsuccessful attempts ===

Another unsuccessful attempt to film a live adult in the wild, dubbed Proyecto Kraken ("Project Kraken"), was made off the Spanish coast of Asturias in September 2002 (with a preliminary expedition in October 2001).Barreiro, 2002; Sitges, 2003; Soriano, 2003; Guerra et al., 2006:242, 250–256; Guerra, 2013 This attempt was led by giant squid expert Ángel Guerra and involved the expedition ships Científico and Investigador and the Spanish Navy patrol ship Mouro (P-24).Sitges, 2003 It initially employed a trio of autonomous underwater camera rigs connected to buoys at the surface, with adjustable visible and infrared lights and a combination of acoustic and optical lures. During the latter part of the expedition, a remotely operated underwater vehicle was used within an area of {{convert|8|ha|acre}} across which 100 lots of weighted bait, totalling {{convert|1.5|t}} of frozen mackerel and sardines, had been released. Though unsuccessful in filming a live giant squid, Proyecto Kraken yielded a single well-preserved male specimen by trawl (#469). The expedition was the subject of the 2003 documentary film Proyecto Kraken: En Busca del Calamar Gigante, released in English as Kraken Project: In Search of the Giant Squid. A follow-up expedition off Asturias was planned for September 2006.Guerra et al., 2006:256 Later efforts were suspended due to the Spanish financial crisis.[Anon.], 2017

Amid growing competition between researchers, in 2003 it was reported that O'Shea was leading a team that planned to image a live giant squid by suspending cameras in the water column that would release "puréed" female gonads to attract a male[Anon.], 2003c or else to release extracts from the gonads of both sexes from a remotely operated underwater vehicle at around 600 m depth. The first trial of this latter approach was planned for July 2004. A number of unsuccessful attempts were also made by a different team to film a live giant squid off South Korea.G.-Y. Lee, 2006

Around the same time, Bruce Robison of the Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute (MBARI) led a twenty-one person team on the flagship research vessel RV Western Flyer (deploying ROV Tiburon) in search of the giant squid in Monterey Canyon, although this was not the only goal of the expedition.Grann, 2004; see also Cappello, 2004 In 1980, Robison had come close to catching a live adult specimen when, also in Californian waters, he pulled up a freshly severed tentacle (#246), complete with "grasping" suckers.Grann, 2004

File:Giantsquidphoto2.png). The downward-facing camera shows the squid attacking horizontally, its head and arms in frame. Between the arms, the bait appears to be enveloped in an irregular ball formed by the two long tentacles, a mode of attack the authors compared to that of pythons.Kubodera & Mori, 2005]]

=== 2004: first photographs of live animal in natural habitat ===

It was only on 30 September 2004 that a live giant squid was photographed in its natural deep-water habitat, off the Ogasawara Islands, by Tsunemi Kubodera and Kyoichi Mori (#492), the culmination of an effort that spanned three years and 26 week-long expeditions.Dery, 2013 The researchers employed a remote camera system suspended from floats at the surface on a long-line of up to {{convert|1000|m|ft|abbr=on}}. The system consisted of a downward-facing camera with a light and data logger, below which extended a weighted {{convert|3|m|ft|abbr=on}} fishing line containing three items of bait at intervals along its length: a large hook with a Japanese flying squid (Todarodes pacificus) of {{convert|22|–|25|cm|in|abbr=on}} mantle length, a mesh bag containing euphausids (krill) to act as an odour lure, and finally a second bait squid directly attached to a weighted squid jig. The camera was configured to take one image every 30 seconds.

The giant squid attacked the deployed bait at a depth of {{convert|900|m|ft|abbr=on}}, becoming snagged on the associated jig. Over the next 4 hours and 13 minutes it periodically came into camera view as it struggled to free itself, gradually pulling the camera system up to a depth of around {{convert|600|m|ft|abbr=on}} before apparently tiring and slowly sinking to almost {{convert|1000|m|ft|abbr=on}}, at which point it severed its own tentacle and escaped. The tentacle was recovered and used to confirm the squid's taxonomic identity via DNA sequencing. It measured {{convert|5.5|m|ft|abbr=on}} in length, with a tentacular club of {{convert|72|cm|ft|abbr=on}}, and was used to estimate the mantle length at around {{convert|1.6|–|1.7|m|ft|abbr=on}}, the standard length (excluding tentacles) at {{convert|4.7|m|ft|abbr=on}}, and the total length at more than {{convert|8|m|ft|abbr=on}}. The images provided a unique insight into the feeding habits of the giant squid and suggested that it was a far more active predator than had previously been thought; the findings were published in the 22 December 2005 issue of Proceedings of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences.Kubodera & Mori, 2005; Kubodera, 2010:25 They were the subject of the 2006 Discovery Channel documentary Giant Squid: Caught on Camera.Martin, 2006

=== 2006–2012: first video of live adult and subsequent efforts ===

Kubodera and his team, again working off the Ogasawara Islands, subsequently became the first to film a live adult giant squid on 4 December 2006 (#508).{{refn|group=nb|name=Cassell|Though Kubodera et al. on 4 December 2006 (#508) and Kubodera, O'Shea, Widder et al. in July 2012 (#548 and 549) are widely recognised as the first to, respectively, film a live adult giant squid (at the surface) and the first to film a live (adult) giant squid in its natural habitat, there exists at least one competing claim to both of these milestones. In November 2006, American explorer and diver Scott Cassell led an expedition to the Gulf of California (Sea of Cortez) with the aim of filming a giant squid in its natural habitat. The team employed a novel filming method: using a Humboldt squid (Dosidicus gigas) carrying a specially designed camera clipped to its fin. The camera-bearing squid caught on film what was claimed to be a very large giant squid engaging in predatory behaviour; its total length was variously estimated at {{convert|108|ft|m|abbr=on}}, {{convert|30|–|120|ft|m|abbr=on}}, and {{convert|40|ft|m|abbr=on}}.[Anon.], 2010i; [Anon.], {{circa}} 2015 The footage was broadcast a year later on the History Channel, on the MonsterQuest episode "Giant Squid Found",Hajicek, 2007 and in the follow-up episode "Giant Squid Ambush" in 2008.Hajicek, 2008 Cassell subsequently distanced himself from this documentary, claiming that it contained multiple factual and scientific errors.Cassell, 2007}} The animal was caught on a baited hook at {{convert|650|m|ft|abbr=on}} depth and pulled to the surface, where it was recorded waving its arms and ejecting large volumes of water from its funnel. It was then brought aboard the research vessel, dying in the process. The squid measured approximately {{convert|1.4|m|ft|abbr=on}} in mantle length and {{convert|3.5|m|ft|abbr=on}} to the tips of the arms (both tentacles were missing), and weighed nearly {{convert|50|kg|lb|abbr=on}}. Notably, footage of the squid at the surface showed the animal exhibiting conspicuous countershading, being reddish dorsally and silvery-white ventrally. The observed forceful ejection of water from the funnel provided further evidence for an active lifestyle and significant swimming ability in this species.[Reuters], 2007; Kubodera, 2010:38

However, the quest to film a live giant squid in its natural habitat continued. An unsuccessful National Geographic–backed attempt off the Azores was made in 2011, headed by camera expert Martin Dohrn and assisted by Malcolm Clarke.[Anon.], 2011a; Herring, 2014:115; Gomes-Pereira et al., 2017:824 Working from the vessel Makaira, the team used a combination of their monochrome Starlight cameras and a purpose-built Colour Starlight camera (with a film speed equivalent to 2 million ASA), which were deployed at a depth of 500 m on a custom-made stealth rig called "the Gupster" and linked to the surface by fibre-optic cable.[Anon.], 2011a; Dohrn, 2011; Bevir, 2012 The project was the subject of the documentary film Hunt for the Giant Squid, released the same year.Dohrn, 2011 Around this time, Steve O'Shea joined an expedition to the Gulf of California (Sea of Cortez) organised by a team of shark experts and anglers led by Chris Fischer that likewise aimed to film a giant squid in the wild,Dudas, 2011 despite the species having never been recorded there.Steve O'Shea speaking in Denham, 2011a The team (minus O'Shea) had previously found a mutilated giant squid carcass (#540) off the Pacific coast of North America.Denham, 2011a; Domeier, 2011 Working from the mother ship MV Ocean, the team trialled a number of approaches, including clipping a camera onto the fin of a Humboldt squid (Dosidicus gigas; similar to the method used by the MonsterQuest team in 2006, also in the Gulf of California{{refn|group=nb|name=Cassell}}), attaching a piece of preserved giant squid to an ROUV arm, doing the same with a bag containing a blended giant squid ovary, using an ROUV baited with a restrained live Humboldt squid, and using a deep-water ROUV with imaging sonar.Denham, 2011a, b Gastric lavage (stomach pumping) of line-caught mako sharks provided no evidence of their predation on giant squid (though it confirmed that they prey on Humboldt squid), and by the end of the expedition no evidence of the giant squid's presence in the Gulf of California had been found.Denham, 2011b Though these efforts were unsuccessful, they were the subject of "The Cannibal" (or "Cannibals of Cortez") and "Giants of the Deep" (or "Squid Row"), two episodes of the National Geographic Channel series Expedition Great White (retroactively retitled Shark Men), first aired in 2011.Denham, 2011a, b; [Nat Geo Asia], 2011 In 2012, a team including Natacha Aguilar de Soto of the University of La Laguna lowered a camera to a depth of {{convert|200|–|800|m|ft|abbr=on|sigfig=2}} off El Hierro, Canary Islands, in the hopes of filming a giant squid, but to no avail.Ardoy, 2013 Around the same time, researchers at the University of Aberdeen's Oceanlab also expressed an interest in filming the giant squid in its natural habitat.[Anon.], 2010a; Staaf, 2010

The elusive footage was finally captured in July 2012 by a team comprising Kubodera, O'Shea and Edith Widder, after more than 285 hours underwater and 55 submersible dives.Schur, 2013{{refn|group=nb|name=Cassell}} The project was a joint effort by NHK, Discovery Channel, and Japan's National Museum of Nature and Science. Early plans announced in 2010 called for the use of modified crittercams that would be attached to sperm whales using suction cups,Ribas, 2010 as in the Smithsonian expeditions of the 1990s, but these were later dropped. The attempt had originally been planned for 2011 but was postponed due to the 2011 Tōhoku earthquake and tsunami.Widder, 2021:254; Fidler, 2021 Like Kubodera's two previous "firsts", the milestone was achieved off the Ogasawara archipelago. Initially, black-and-white video of a live giant squid (#548) was recorded on 1 July 2012{{refn|group=nb|name=Chung|Ph.D. student Wen-Sung Chung, who was reviewing the "Medusa" footage while Widder was on a submersible dive, was the first to view the recording and therefore the first person to see video of a live giant squid in its natural habitat.Edith Widder interviewed in Marquez, 2013; Widder, 2021:255, 262–263 The footage was first seen by Chung and the rest of the team on 3 July, having been recorded two days earlier.}} at a depth of around {{convert|700|m|ft|abbr=on}} from a "Medusa" remote camera system, which was suspended from a buoy at the surface. This system employed Widder's "e-jelly", a flashing ball meant to mimic the bioluminescent signalling of a panicking Atolla jellyfish, a behaviour hypothesised to be a last-ditch effort on the part of the jellyfish to attract a predator of its predator and thereby enable its escape.

In total, five sightings of giant squid were made using this system, the last being the most impressive: the squid was recorded passing over the "e-jelly" and apparently attacking the camera system directly, lending credence to the "alarm hypothesis".Schrope, 2013; Tucker, 2013; Widder, 2021:266–267 About a week after the first sighting using the "Medusa" system, a live animal (#549) was filmed by a three-man crew (including Kubodera) from a Triton 3300/3 submersible (launched from OceanX's research vessel MV AluciaHendriksz, 2018; Widder, 2021:253–256), providing the first ever colour and high-quality film of a live giant squid in its natural habitat. The squid, which was about {{convert|3|m|ft|abbr=on}} long and missing its feeding tentacles, was initially observed at a depth of {{convert|630|m|ft|abbr=on}} and later followed to around {{convert|900|m|ft|abbr=on}}. It was drawn into viewing range through a combination of a flashing squid jig and the use of a large Thysanoteuthis rhombus (diamondback squid) as bait. The giant squid was filmed feeding for about 23 minutes until it departed. The footage was the subject of two full-length documentaries that premiered in January 2013: NHK's Legends of the Deep: Giant Squid and Discovery Channel's Monster Squid: The Giant is Real.[NHK], 2013a, b; Schwerin, 2013; Schur, 2013; Widder, 2021:269–270 In July of the same year it appeared in a special episode of the BBC series Natural World, titled "Giant Squid: Filming The Impossible", which was adapted from the NHK documentary.[NHK], 2013e; Lazzerini, 2013 O'Shea later opined that the extended submersible encounter was "[u]ndoubtedly the most-significant moment [...] Everything else pales in significance to this moment."Dalton, 2021

=== 2013–present: live animals documented at the surface ===

File:Diver with giant squid 24 December 2015.jpg) in a harbour on the coast of Toyama Bay on 24 December 2015. The animal, who gained the nickname 'Heck',{{Cite web |date=2015-12-29 |title=Giant squid spotted in Japanese harbour |url=https://uk.news.yahoo.com/giant-squid-spotted-japanese-harbour-171819002.html |access-date=2024-06-30 |website=Yahoo News |language=en-GB}} spent several hours in the harbour, where it was filmed by local divers before being guided out to sea. The resulting videos rank among the highest-quality live giant squid footage ever captured.Keartes, 2015 Note the animal's splayed arms, which it repeatedly wrapped around the divers when approached.Hunt, 2015]]

Since the 2012 milestone, live giant squid have been photographed and filmed at the surface on a number of occasions, mostly in Japanese waters (#564, 569, 606, 613, 614, 615, 618, 626, 630, 635, 637, 639, 644, 659, 669, 673, and 677)—the majority of these as part of the mass appearance event in the Sea of Japan between January 2014 and March 2015—but also off Spain (#648) and South Africa (#650). Additionally, two freshly stranded animals were photographed alive on South African beaches (#557 and 674), and at least four individuals were briefly kept alive in tanks in Japan (#573, 580, 587, and 632).{{refn|group=nb|name=captivity|All of the specimens kept alive in tanks were rather small individuals and survived for only a few hours at most. The idea of keeping a fully grown giant squid in captivity—long term—has been mooted on occasion but is considered exceedingly challenging and has never been attempted.Monks, 2013; Lamb, 2018; but see Dalton, 2021}}

Notable among these encounters was a specimen (#637) seen in Toyama Bay, Japan, on 24 December 2015, the video of which is one of the highest-quality ever recorded. The squid was apparently swimming normally when a local diving shop owner dove alongside it, and after a few hours of being filmed in a harbour the animal was guided back into the open ocean. It was estimated to be {{convert|3.7|m|ft|abbr=on}} long excluding the tentacles,McKirdy & Ogura, 2015; Murai, 2015 and is believed to be a juvenile.{{Cite web |last=Ogura |first=Euan McKirdy,Junko |date=2015-12-28 |title=Creature from the deep surfaces in Japanese harbor |url=https://www.cnn.com/2015/12/28/asia/toyama-japan-giant-squid/index.html |access-date=2024-06-30 |website=CNN |language=en}} Two other specimens from Toyama Bay (#613 and 618) were similarly filmed by divers and were actually encountered slightly earlier, contrary to some claims about the former specimen being the first encounter of its type.{{refn|group=nb|name=firstdiver|The Diving Almanac & Book of Records of 2016, for example, recognises specimen #637 as the first to be filmed by a diver, though with the incorrect date of 24 January 2015 instead of 24 December 2015.Gallant, 2016:46 The same source also considers this specimen (with the correct date) to be the "[l]argest squid observed on a dive"Gallant, 2016:96 (but see #618).}} Another noteworthy encounter was that between a paddleboarder and a badly injured individual (#650) off Melkbosstrand, South Africa, in March 2017, with the stricken animal filmed wrapping its arms around the paddleboard.Keartes, 2017; Payne, 2017

{{quote box|width=33%|align=left|quote="In terms of Architeuthis sightings, historically, all we've had are dead animals. Now, we're seeing live animals being photographed and filmed.

=== 2013–present: further efforts to film live animals in natural habitat ===

In August 2013, Kirsten and Joachim Jakobsen announced an Evonik Industries–backed project to film a fully intact adult giant squid in its natural habitat off the Azores and thereby determine how the species uses its long tentacles (missing in the 2012 specimen) for feeding.[Evonik], 2013; #EvonikNd Efforts were ongoing as of 2015.Betzholz, 2015; [Evonik], 2015 In September 2018, it was reported that Tsunemi Kubodera was to "hunt" giant squid in Toyama Prefecture, Japan, in January–February 2019 for a documentary about his work on the species by filmmaker Shinichi Motoki.

Another video of a live giant squid in its natural deep-water habitat (#664)—reported at the time as the second ever recorded—was captured in the Gulf of Mexico at {{convert|759|m|ft|abbr=on}} depth in June 2019 by a NOAA-funded team that included Widder and marine biologists Nathan J. Robinson and Sönke Johnsen.Johnsen & Widder, 2019; [NOAA], 2019; Robinson et al., 2021; Widder, 2021:270–273 The animal was seen striking an "e-jelly" lure and attached bait bag before retreating. It seemed to track the up-and-down motion of the camera rig prior to striking, indicating that giant squid are primarily visual predators that actively stalk their prey.Robinson et al., 2021:6; Kingery, 2021 It subsequently came to light that a seven-second clip of a live giant squid (#654)—little publicised initiallyEscánez et al., 2018—had been captured in October 2017, off the southern coast of El Hierro in the Canary Islands at around {{convert|500|m|ft|abbr=on}} depth, making the Gulf of Mexico video the third such recording.Ocampo, 2019 In 2018, environmental DNA (eDNA) sampling was used to monitor the spatiotemporal distribution of giant squid for the first time. The technique revealed the presence of giant squid in the Sea of Japan in winter but not in summer, in close agreement with historical stranding patterns.Wada et al., 2020; Noone, 2020

A giant squid (#672) was again filmed in its natural habitat on 19 March 2020, this time in Bremer Bay off southwestern Australia. It was recorded from a remote camera system at a depth of around 800 m by a team once again led by Tsunemi Kubodera. The resulting footage was the first to show a giant squid using its tentacles for feeding.Kubodera et al., 2021 A short documentary released in 2021 followed another effort to film an underwater encounter between a sperm whale and a giant squid, but off the Caribbean archipelago of Guadeloupe. As in the Smithsonian expeditions of the late 1990s, it involved attaching cameras to the whales using suction cups. In one of the resulting videos, an undetermined squid limb briefly came into view, but no definitive footage of a giant squid was captured.[Symbio], 2021

Line baited with squid and shrimp. Feeding behaviour observed; "Architeuthis appears to be a much more active predator than previously suspected, using its elongate feeding tentacles to strike and tangle prey". Distal tentacle portion was still functioning upon retrieval at surface, with club suckers "repeatedly gripping the boat deck and any offered fingers".
