How to watch the colossal squid webcast

In February 2007 a colossal squid was found and donated to Te Papa, our national museum. The colossal squid’s about 10 metres long and weighs in at about 500Kg. That’s bigger than a ‘giant’ squid.

Today they begin thawing and dissecting the colossus — Museum of New Zealand Te Papa Tongarewa, Wellington, NZ - Colossal Squid:

I was using Flock, but it would be much the same with any browser.

1. Download and install the free VLC player.
2. Click on the stream you want to watch and save the starter file to your hard drive.
3. In the download window click ‘Open’. The starter file opens into VLC.
4. Double click the stream in the file list to start playing it.

Oh, and who knew — Te Papa has a blog.
