Yeah..........I happened to see that on one of the morning shows this morning. With this ever encroaching world of ours, more & more things are bound to show up. Too bad they killed it. Or did they? I don't think it said?

Yup its dead, they froze it for research. It says in the video underneath .lol

The bell is huge compared to the size of the tentacles, I wonder what it predates upon?

You gotta laugh at the human mentality though, we catch a leviathan like that, a wonder of nature, and some dude has to spark up that if it was cut into rings for calamari, theyd be tractor tyre sized .lol

I think youd run out of teeth before you finished a single ring.If my mother cooked it, youd be able to use it as a medieval siege catapult To be fair though, the first time I cooked whole baby squid, they became rubberised novelty items, we ended up bouncing them at each other around the table rather than eating them.

I was listening to the news last night and caught a little blirb about it.
