nothing says it’s friday like the yummy-ness of a colossal squid autopsy! yes, the folks at wired have a delectable photo slideshow of a big huge squid autopsy. i believe this particular squid was the same colossal squid caught off the coast of new zealand in february of 2007. and the colossal squid is technically bigger than the giant squid - just in time for breakfast too! enjoy!
mmmm … delicious!
one of the biggest and most complete/intact giant squids ever found is on display at london’s natural history museum. measuring 28 feet in length, the giant squid nicknamed archie resides in a 30 foot long tank full of preservative solution and is part of the behind-the-scenes Darwin Centre tour. here’s a pic of archie in his custom built display tank. mmm … fleshy & gross. so much calamari, so little time.
