SquidCam!

This is just unbelievably cool. New Zealand scientist Steve O'Shea, well known for his attempts to study giant squid, has set up a live webcam that will follow the development of broad squid larvae in an attempt to beat his own world record for keeping squid in captivity and as a a warm up to his goal of one day raising a giant squid in a tank.

You can watch the squid grow up live here (you’ll need JavaVM) the page linked to also holds a nunch of photos from the tank Adding to that here’s a thread in a message board featuring updates on the project from Dr O’Shea.

At the moment the larvae are very small and pretty hard to observe on the webcam, Dr O’Shea suggests it will be another couple of weeks before you can track them or observe them properly.
