Coming January 2013, Discovery Channel and NHK are to make television history, all thanks to a video showing a giant squid move about in its natural habitat.

This footage is the first of its kind, meaning that no monster squid was ever caught on camera in its natural habitat before.

Whereas NHK is to air the video in early January 2013, the Discovery Channel has decided to introduce the general public to this amazing and elusive creature on January 27, 2013.

It is on this date when they will premiere their “Monster Squid: The Giant Is Real” documentary, sources say.

“Our crew came face-to-face with the giant squid, and it’s the ideal season finale for our Curiosity series that stirs the imagination of our audience, bravely asking questions and fearlessly seeking answers,” said the Group President of Discovery and TLC Networks, Eileen O'Neill.

Furthermore, “This latest production, four years in the making, is a world-first achievement for television, and I’m excited to share it.”
