CALAMAR on a Sunday afternoon



Ok it seems I've been watching alot of telly lately and what a wonderful treat it is when you just happen upon something......Thalassa on SBS with that guapo Silvio Rivier who always presents Global Village. This one was about giant squid and it was great, especially the scenes underwater when the squid are feeding - beautiful!


The town of Santa Rosalia, in the Baja California desert, Mexico, has become a hub for giant squid fishing. The fishermen are badly paid, but the town is poor so there is little choice. During the squid migrating season scientists swim with them, film them and study their habits, as they are concerned about the drop in numbers.
