Monster Squid: The Giant Is Real

Isn’t it exciting to think that there are still new, undiscovered creatures on our planet Earth? Take the elusive giant squid, also known from Norse maritime legend as the kraken. For the first time ever it has been filmed in its natural habitat. The Discovery channel in the US will screen this historic footage on January 27th in an episode of the Curiosity series titled Monster Squid: The Giant Is Real.

This time of year makes for a rather sparse and depressing garden, so why not cheer yourself up by watching this truly stunning compilation video of flower timelapses.

Photographer Katka Purskova has taken more than 7,100 photos over the course of 730 hours to produce beautiful sequences of roses, lilies, gardenias and gladioli bursting into bloom before your eyes while set to some Yann Tiersen-esque music. Hit play and marvel at the magnificence of nature.
