A colossal squid... fer real... MAN that thing is big, 33 ft. and over 900 lbs. That's a heck of a lot of squiddiness.

Just thought you might find it interesting too!

That is amazing! I love that there are things in our world (especially our oceans) that we just haven't discovered yet.

Giant Squid! :)

Isn't it cool?

I love it every time something new comes to light, either something that's just plain hard to find, like this one, or especially the ones that they've sworn were extinct billyuns and gazillyuns of years ago...hee... Those always make me laugh. "Coelecanth? Oh, you mean they've been right here swimming around and the local folks just didn't call them that? Oops."

Love the idea that calimari from that squid would be the size of truck tires too. Wow.
