I told you there were bigger squid in the sea, and stranger ones too!

Fishermen off the coast of New Zealand caught a colossal squid. It's quite a site, isn't it. Best blurb about it is that if one were to make fried squid rings out of it, they would be the size of tractor tires. Unfortunately, they would likely taste strongly of ammonia, so I wouldn't order any.

In other squid news, a rather large squid was caught on video. This one has light-up tentacles and exhibits some rather odd hunting behavior. Check it out here.

[ I forgot to note: Kudos to the fishermen, who went above and beyond the call of duty to capture this beautiful animal intact and preserve it so well. Science owes them a round of applause and several rounds of beer.]
