This photo released by Dr. Tsunemi Kubodera of the National Science Museum, an 8-meter (26-foot)-long Architeuthis attacks a prey hung by a white rope, left, at 900 meters (yards) deep off the coast of Japan's Bonin islands, 1,000 kilometers (670 miles) south of Tokyo, in the fall of 2004. The camera was operated by remote control. * This is a photo released by Dr. Tsunemi Kubodera of the National Science Museum, showing a 6-meter (20-foot) tentacle that belonged to Architeuthis when it was photographed for the first time at 900 meters (yards) deep off the coast of Japan's Bonin islands, 1,000 kilometers (670 miles) south of Tokyo, in the fall of 2004. The tentacle was left after it became stuck with a bait. *

The tentacle was left behind after it became stuck with a bait. Researchers ran DNA tests on the tentacle and found it matched those of other giant squids found around Japan.
