Why Swordfish TERRIFY Giant Squids?

The Kraken has a secret predator—and it isn't a whale. Think the Giant Squid (Architeuthis dux) is the undisputed king of the abyss? Think again. Scientists have discovered a disturbing pattern of giant squid carcasses impaled, blinded, and killed by a weapon that shouldn't be there. Meet the Swordfish: a surface hunter that is secretly waging a war in the deep sea. In this dive, we explore how a 1,200lb fish is successfully hunting 40-foot "Krakens" in total darkness. From the "cranial heater" that gives swordfish "super-vision" in freezing water to the 60mph spear strikes that punch through bone, we’re uncovering the biology of the ocean’s most unlikely apex predator. Why is the Giant Squid losing? It turns out that evolution gave the squid massive eyes to spot whales, but it never prepared them for a fish with "heated" sight and a built-in sword. In this video, we cover: The mystery of the "impaled" squid carcasses found worldwide. Why Swordfish dive to 2,000ft (The Deep Scattering Layer). The "Cranial Heater": The biological secret to hunting in the abyss. How a Swordfish strike delivers more force than a charging horse. The "Mutual Destruction" skeletons found on the seafloor.
