THE giant squid is the stuff of maritime legend but it's got nothing on an extraordinary 450kg creature that's been hauled from Antarctica's icy waters. Meet colossus squid. Ten metres long. Two massive eyes, each half a metre in diameter. And a penis longer than all but the tallest of men. "Ever ever ever, throughout the universe, there has never been another squid this size captured,'' said a stunned Dr Steve O'Shea today as the squid expert marvelled at the find by New Zealand fishermen in the Ross Sea. |
