[...] Imagine coming face to face with a cannibalistic creature that is as tall as you are and has long tentacles, a razor-sharp beak, and skin that flashes with bizarre, dazzling color. NATURE’s Encountering Sea Monsters explores the remarkable world of marine creatures called cephalopods. Watch a preview. [...]

A fitting sequel to NATURE’s other informative installments on cephalopods. Much new information. Let’s hope for even more squid next time!

This was a great show. I’d like to see more of the work done by John Forsythe on the Cuttle Fish. This is a little known and amazing creature.
Do you have further information on the research of Mr. Forsyte? I am a teacher and would like to show more on this work to the students.

This Nature show on sea monsters was very informative and made me want to know more. There is a story in our reading book about the seas creatures including the Cuttle Fish, but this is the first time I have seen a real one. I am anxiously looking forward to more amazing Nature programs.

I agree with #3 (Jack). I have been lobbying for the DVD release of Nature’s fantastic “Incredible Suckers” (1995, http://www.pbs.org/wnet/nature/suckers/), which was the first documentary about cephalopods that really opened my eyes in astonishment and wonder about these intelligent creatures; I’ll never eat calamari again! Unfortunately, Nature relinquished its rights to the documentary. Whoever owns the rights, please release it on DVD! Then there was “The Octopus Show” (http://www.pbs.org/wnet/nature/octopus/), another worthy Nature documentary. I liked “Encountering Sea Monsters”, because it followed the narrative structure used in “Incredible Suckers” (especially the poignant ending) and because it was shot in hi-definition. All three shows are great, and I want to show them to young relatives to give them an appreciation of the animal world.

I saw the show yesterday, it was AMAZING! I was totally awe-struck. Yay for nature documentaries! It made me want everyone to know about it. I showed my mom, and she was so amazed.

I especially love the Squid’s eyes. So interesting.

I loved the little octupus that carried its bottle - it was something right out of Disney. If it wasn’t for PBS we’d never know.

This was an incredible learning experience, thanks to the brave curiosity & talent of Bob Cranston and the applause of PBS, the willingness to share what would be unknown to most. As humans, we are NOT the most colorful creatures of the world! Thanks for the best TV programs, so much better than fictional violence.

Absolutely amazing! I was just browsing through the channels and started watching this on KQED, great filming, very educational! I’d too like to share this video with my nephew and boyfriend, is there anywhere I can I purchase it? Or any other airdates and times?

I watch a lot of nature programs, many of which are so amazingly done…but this is one of the best — amazing and utterly riveting photography, narration, ’stories,’ educational value.

This has now topped my all time favorite “learning new things” show. I raved about what went into making those special swords and watched that twice. This was even more amazing. I would love to see more on cuttlefish, especially if they do further experiments that test their intelligence. Thank you for producing such wonderful shows.
