One of the only pictures of the live colossal squid alongside the San Aspiring, as the crew hauls it onto the boat.


Colossal squid Mesonychoteuthis hamiltoni Ross Sea, Antarctica, April 2003Overall length 5.4 metres, mantle length 2.5 metres. (OMG~~ this is my first time to saw this picture...有点可怕!)


Measuring one of the arm suckers on the colossal squid. The size and number of suckers are used in preparing a scientific description of the specimen.

Actually I just build my pet squid called GEMINI then after that found that some information for squid and deep ocean..... cool~
