Monster of the deep: Giant squid spotted in Western Australia after 25 years
Researchers in Western Australia have discovered evidence of the elusive giant squid in the East Indian Ocean using environmental DNA. This groundbreaking study, conducted in deep canyons off the Ningaloo coastline, analyzed water samples to detect genetic traces, revealing a thriving, largely unknown ecosystem. The findings highlight the potential of eDNA for marine conservation and understanding biodiversity in extreme environments.
