1,089 Pounds Giant Squid Defrosted

Scientists in New Zealand have taken a colossal squid off ice to find out more about the creature. The 1,089 pounds squid was caught by a deep sea fishing boat in Antarctic waters in 2007.

The 26 feet colossal squid lives at great depth in seas between Antarctica and New Zealand. The deep sea creature has been frozen for more than a year, and is now being defrosted so that scientists can dissect it to discover more about the species.
