The giant squid, Architeuthis dux, evaded being photographed alive for the whole of the 20th century. Finally in January 2002 one was caught by chance off Japan and photographed; since then there have been half a dozen giant squid caught alive and photographed.
Here is a slideshow of all known living Architeuthis photographs. If anyone is aware of any other images, please drop me a line.
If anyone enjoyed this, please have a look at my \\\'Colossal Squid Gallery\\\' for images of the giant squid\\\'s bigger cousin. I\\\'ve also added a short video on belemnites which were extinct cousins of squid and only known from fossils.
