The giant squid is 7 meters long from head to tentacles and weighs up to 90 kilograms. According to a June 28 report by United Press International, three American fishermen caught a giant squid on the 26th in the Gulf of Mexico that was 7 meters long from head to tentacles and weighed up to 90 kilograms. Fisherman Bentz said that around 11:30 AM, they saw something white floating on the water's surface. Upon approaching, they discovered it was a dead giant squid. Nobody on board had ever seen such a large squid, so they decided to reel it in and bring it to port. The fishermen at the port were also astonished by this giant squid. Bentz contacted wildlife conservation organizations, which sent it to the University of Florida for research. (Source: China Daily Website, Zhang Pinqiu) Comments are welcome. I want to comment.
