Squid are wild and wonderful. They are believed to be remarkably
intelligent because of their apparently complex communication system. They include
the Vampire Squid, and the elusive and mysterious Giant Squid. I researched the
Giant Squid which is the biggest animals in the sea.
The giant squid lives in most of the world`s oceans and is among the
biggest animals in the sea but it is rarely seen. It hunts smaller sea creatures but
larger animals feed on it. It has inspired fantastic tales but the facts are even more
fascinating than the ficiton. For over 2,000 years the giant squid has inspired fear,

been rare and distant. And only recently has there been scientific evidence to
Centuries ago, people invented explanations for what their astonished
eyes saw. In 1500`s, when several large unfamiliar sea creatures were stranded in
Norway, people decided they were gMermenh. A merman is a giant squid. Until the
1880`s , the giant squid was thought to be a legend. But in 1888, a giant squid 57 feet
long washed ashore on a New Zealand beach. It had tentacles 35 feet long, and its
eyes were each larger than a dinner plate. (It is amazing!) One captured sperm whale
regurgitated two 42 foot long tentacles in an aquarium, meaning the squid they came
from was roughly 66 feet long, and weighed 85,000 pounds. Scientists do not know
exactly where in the sea it lives, they have not been to study it alive. The giant squid
can be up to 18m (59 ft), and their weight can be up to 900kg (1980lb,nearly 1ton).
In addition, They were caught everywhere in the world, especially in the North of
Atlantic. Scientists suspect giant squid live mostly at depth of 200 to 700,
