From the article:

Deep sea scientists have filmed a live colossal squid in its natural environment for the first time since the species was named 100 years ago. In a surprising twist, the individual – caught on film at a depth of 600 metres by researchers onboard Schmidt Ocean Institute’s Falkor (too) – was a baby. Reaching up to seven metres long and tipping the scales at 500kg, the colossal squid (Mesonychoteuthis hamiltoni) is the heaviest invertebrate on Earth. But this see-through juvenile measured just 30 centimetres long.
