The biggest squid ever captured has begun thawing. This “colossal squid” — or Mesonychoteuthis hamiltoni — was caught near Antarctica in Feb. 2007. It weighed 1,091 pounds, and has been frozen in a New Zealand lab since its discovery.
Only six colossal squids have ever been caught. Once this specimen is slowly thawed in a saltwater bath, it will be studied to learn more about the mysterious creature. Scientists want to learn more about the creature’s habits and if even bigger squids are lurking in our oceans’ darkest depths.

very cool!
interpretable Etruria sojourners quirk.haggardly repeatable … Thanks!!!
wow
The squid is dead. The freeze it to perseve the animal long enough to study it. here is no way to capture that animal and keep it alive. If i was a scientist working with that thing alive i would be pretty freaked out!
YO THE PIC IS WHAT IS SMALL.
Why did they freeze it in the first place?
i wonder what it would be like to have that as a pet? =DD
I was just wondering, why is it so small (no offense)?
its not dead they have to put it in a big fish boal with four foot glass
cool
Is it dead and am I first?
