In Search of Giant Squid October 3, 2006

Featuring one of the most elusive and mysterious animals on the planet, 'In Search Of Giant Squid' is an interactive, multimedia exhibit that invites visitors to join in the quest to observe this legend in the wild. Based on the enormously popular exhibition at the Smithsonian's National Museum of Natural History, 'In Search Of Giant Squid' explores what is known about these reclusive animals and scientists' ongoing efforts to observe them in their undersea home. Visitors will examine the myths and legends surrounding giant squid, compare them with other squids and mollusks, explore what is known is of how they hunt, move, and defend themselves, and learn what scientists are doing to fill in the gaps in understanding their anatomy and behavior.
