The Giant Squid

The giant squid is a deep ocean dwelling creatures that can grow very large in size. It is thought that males can grow as big as 10m while females can grow about 13m. It wasn't until September 30/2004 that scientist got their first pictures of the giant squid in its natural habitat, then on December 4/2003 it was filmed. Surprisingly, the giant squid is not as heavy as one would have thought. In fact, the giant squid weighs less then one of there chief predators, the sperm whale. The giant squid looks heavier then it is because the majority of their length is due to their long, eight arms and two tenticles. Squids that have been captured were in the vicinity of hundreds, not thousands, of kilograms. The giant squid is carvnivorous, and the eat mainly fish and other squid.
Unfortunately, not many people have come in counter with the giant squid, so not much is known about the species. Hopefully, in the future, scientists will be able to get a look at how the giant squid lives, and we will know more about these fascinating creatures.
