Diver Yosuke Tanaka swam with a giant squid in the Sea of Japan near Toyooka City in Hyogo Prefecture.
A diver in Japan swam alongside an unusual companion earlier this month: An 8.2-foot-long giant squid.
Though most people won't get a chance to swim alongside a giant squid, Tanaka's encounter was not so surprising to squid scientists. Japanese zoologist Tsunemi Kubodera, who captured the first photographs and video of living giant squid in their native habitats, has documented large numbers of giant squid between January and March in the coastal waters of the Sea of Japan. In a 2016 paper , Kubodera and his colleagues reported finding 57 giant squid in just those three months, 28 of which were alive.
"When that happens, they can't stay in the really deep water that they usually stay in," Vecchione told Live Science."They come up close to the surface, and then the surface water gets cold. When you see them up close to the surface, they're not healthy."
