Interesting article on the colossal squid, which is larger than the giant squid.
The article answers a vexing question:
So why do we always hear about the giant squid and not the colossal squid?
Well, part of it has to do with the fact that the giant squid was discovered and studied long before the colossal squid.
Scientists have been studying giant squid since the 1800s, while the colossal squid wasn’t even discovered until 1925.
And its first discovery was just the head and arms found in a sperm whale’s stomach.
It wasn’t until 1981 that the first whole animal was found by a trawler near the coast of Antarctica.
As usual, you can also use this squid post to talk about the security stories in the news that I haven’t covered.
