How big the squid you had seen in your life?? I had read the news article about the colossal squid from earth science portal on extreme science. The colossal squid named Mesonychoteuthis hamiltoni. This species of squid was first identified in 1925 after two arms were recovered from a sperm whale's stomach. In 2003 a virtually intact specimen of this never-before-seen squid had been brought up in Antarctic waters from an estimated depth of 2,000 to 2,200 meters. And recently, in February of 2007 a live colossal squid was brought to the surface in Antarctic waters by a New Zealand fishing boat. This time video was taken and the squid was captured for scientific study. From the pictures, you could see how big it is. After I read this article, I feel the ocean is the horrible place. There are many creations that were out of our imagination. However, I like to read this article.
