   Thanks to you all for putting the cameras up online and for updating the blog so much. It’s all absolutely fascinating!

   Will keep an eye (not an intended bad pun!) on the cameras through the night (I’m in the UK so 12 hours behind) and I look forward to reading more about what you learn tomorrow.

   Hi thanks for the update and its very interesting, Why does the lense have no pupil, I wonder how it connects to the brain and converts that to an image

   And how it has not colour in the lense, I am eagerly watching the web cam

   Thanks again
   Nicole

   Thanks for sharing this event! (I’m watching from St. Louis, MO, USA, by the way.) The web cams give a feel of being in the moment with you, but the blog pictures are so much more detailed. More pics please!

   And Happy Birthday to the guy in the tank!

   Alex (age 7) watching from Adelaide says thanks for putting this up so we can see it. I have visited the giant squid in the Adelaide museum and been fascinated about giant squids ever since and i noticed that your one is bigger.

    They took the eyeballs out, Its referred to as the lens and the size of the eye was likened to the size of a saucer

    WOW!! I’ve been watching since yesterday morning & I’m getting really exited to see it all stretched out. You guy’s must be 10 fold with that exitement. Any news on the sex yet? I like Bob if it’s a boy. Kind of makes sence since they kind of bob about in the ocean & we’ve been watching it bob around in the tank. I feel quite attached to it now.
    Awesome viewing!!
    Skye!
