Ever since I saw the Fishing with John with Dennis Hopper I chuckle every time I hear talk of giant squids. Well, it seems that one washed up on an australian beach!
A giant squid with tentacles measuring at least 15 metres (yards) has washed up on a southern Australian beach, exciting scientists who believe they may have stumbled across a new species.
The monster cephalopod washed up on Seven Mile Beach in the southern island state of Tasmania some time over the weekend. The squid, which weighs about 250 kg (550 pounds), was hauled by trailer to the Tasmanian Museum and Art Gallery on Monday.
FIFTEEN METERS! Yow!
