Weird News: Colossal Squid Caught Off the Antartic
February 22, 2007—In Antarctica's Ross Sea, a fishing boat has caught what is likely the world's biggest known
colossal squid (yes, that's the species' name), New Zealand officials announced today. Heavier than even giant squid, colossal squid (Mesonychoteuthis hamiltoni) have eyes as wide as dinner plates and sharp hooks on some of their suckers. The new specimen weighs in at an estimated 990 pounds (450 kilograms).

Source: National Geographic News



*colossal = of extraordinary size and extent; gigantic; huge (e.g. If you steal that watch, you will be making a colossal mistake.)


Check out the picture above! While a giant squid is about 10m long, the colossal squid is 13m long! That's even longer than a school bus! You can have squid for lunch and dinner everyday for months!
