The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) has released a video of a young giant squid measuring up to 12 feet in 2019. In the video shared, the squid can be seen swimming toward the camera, and the cephalopod wraps its tentacles around NOAA's camera before it swims away. Take a look at the video:
