GOOD, GOOD point there, SPRINGHEELEDJACK.

I WILL say, it may not be as BIG as was thought, but still…

YIKES!!!

And while I am at it, while it offers no real proof, the fact that a 26 foot squid is present and that they can grow much larger, leads to the basic cryptozoological claim…

if something that big is alive and afoot in the world’s oceans, then it is very possible that there are other big critters out there as yet undiscovered…and sea serpents head my list!

The article I read said that they compared the beak on this one to beaks found in the stomachs of sperm whales and this particular squid’s beak was not as big as some of the others found…so they are guestimating that they can get a whole lot bigger…:)

Well G., apparenly this specimen is a young male, so scientis think females grow to be much, much larger.

I would really like to know what range of light that eye can register at the depths this leviathan lives.

So.

I know it’s not a mature one…but how far along is this one in the premature stage of life? I doubt it’s still a toddler.
