Wild Photos That Show The True Scale Of Things

Giant Squids Are Seriously Giant…Like, Seriously Big

As if the ocean isn’t already a scary enough place, giant squids are here to remind us when they occasionally wash ashore like this one did. They can grow to huge sizes as big at 43feet for a male and 33feet for a female!

Giant squids have long been a part of ancient lore and in the 1800s many scientists reported “strandings” of giant squids but it wasn’t until 2004 that a giant squid was photographed in its natural habitat.
