Attack of the Giant Squid: Beast Caught on Camera Flailing and Spraying Ink at Greenpeace Submarine During Terrifying Underwater Encounter
- Giant beast attacked submarine on mission under the Bering Sea
Daily Mail UK, 14 October 2014
A giant squid has been filmed launching a frantic attack beneath the waves on a passing submarine.
The ten-legged beast is seen launching itself towards the vessel, whipping its tentacles at the hull.
People in charge of the submarine try to frighten the beast away by shining a bright light at the squid, which only enrages it further and prompts a second attack.

The panicked cephalopod then fires a huge burst of ink at the submarine - which thankfully seems to do no damage.
Shortly after, the squid swims away without having damaged the submarine. The encounter was filmed in the Bering Sea - the body of water between Russia and Alaska.
Greenpeace, who were running the mission, uploaded the footage to their Vine account yesterday
