I see, that's how it looks like. over the newspaper they don't show it's picture.

man... this is pretty disappointing... i was thinking it would be COLOSSAL as in.. .well get the picture? hehehe

man... i am so curious about these type ofthings... thanks TheGrandSlayer for posting this! [img]graemlins/thumbsup.gif[/img]

Considering that one was "a young female" I am impressed. [img]smile.gif[/img]

"the colossal squid eats large prey like the Patagonian toothfish, which can grow more than 6 feet long (2 meters)."

*rethinking swimming in the ocean for leisure* ;)

Cool article TheGrandSlayer! [img]graemlins/thumbsup.gif[/img] Thanks for posting it!

i hate to see anything tentaclelish (if there is a word for that).. i got traumatized before when my sister was attacked my a group of jellyfish.. and i was just right beside her then.. brr...

Interesting article [img]smile.gif[/img]

Thankfully, bluebottles aren't that big! ;)

I've heard of people eating squid, but that squid might eat people.
*gulp*

<font color=skyblue>I liked the part in the article that said that these squid usually should be found at a certain depth in those cold waters, and it was rare to find one so close to the surface...and that they are wondering what else could be down there since it is relatively undiscovered territory. What other collosal creatures can the deep be hiding? You see, we should not waste time with trying to get men to Mars and crap like that...we should first explore every inch of our own world. WHo knows what we'll find!</font>

i agree with you completely Larry! [img]smile.gif[/img] the article said it was a "young female"... so how big are the male? [img]smile.gif[/img] well... sperm whales sure know a LOT, but then it is hard to even stick a camera to them, and well... when they were able to it didn't see anything... LOL too bad... trial and error.. and luck I suppose...
