The giant squid eats other squid and can grow up to 10 meters, or 32 feet. It lives at a depth that makes it extremely hard to observe.

Footage taken by the team will be used in a documentary that’s set to be released by the Discovery Channel later this month.

Micronaut Girl 5 months agoOh gosh. I don’t even like thinking of mini squid the size of your hand. Anything that can suction cup on then bite you with beaks is a baaaad deal.
