Review: Cryptid Hunt Episode 3: Giant Squid Caught

Jordan Warner does it again!!!

This excellent episode, about the giant squid, features Scott Cassell, who was on the Monsterquest episodes on the Giant Squid, and Marine Biologist and author Richard Ellis, who is skeptical of large squids still existing. Dr. Clive Roper is also interviewed and is a bit more accepting. A series of photos of a large sperm whale washed up on the beach shows the carcass has what appear to be sucker marks on it from a possible giant squid. An expedition with Cassell takes place in the Sea of Cortez. The Giant Humboldt Squid in the Sea of Cortez is known as "The Red Demon." Giant Squid have washed up on the shores of New Zealand, Norway, Tasmania and another island nation. Ellis is skeptical of the large squids growing larger than 60 feet and believes that may show exaggeration. Live large Squid have been photographed and also even captured. Cassell is going to make an attempt to film and possibly capture a Red Demon in the Sea of Cortez. Jordan continues to make excellent webisodes, which I have been deeply impressed by. This webisode can be found doing a search on YouTube. EXCELSIOR, Jordan!!!
