Yahoo! News - Rare Colossal Squid Found Near Antarctica
Yahoo! News - Rare Colossal Squid Found Near Antarctica The half-grown female colossal squid is only the second intact example of the monster cephalopod known to have been found, said marine biologist Steve O'Shea of New Zealand's national museum.
"I've seen 105 giant squid, but seeing something like this is pretty sensational," O'Shea told Reuters. Apparently there's a difference between the Colossal Squid and the Giant Squid, according to this article. Squid must have amazing p.r. men, what with both colossal squids and giant squids--usually an animal gets one cool name, and then a bunch of other boring stuff. But if it turns out there's an actual Fucking Enormous Squid, I won't be a bit surprised...
