Freak of the Week By Request

Ligers are Haydon’s favourite animal. See him if you need...
Deep Sea Freak of the Week
This week’s freak is the Giant Squid (genus: Architeuthis). The giant squid pictured below can be seen demonstrating behaviour typical to the genus:
The giant squid is the second largest mollusc and the second largest of all extant invertebrates. It is only exceeded in size, awesomeness and prowess in mortal combat by the Colossal Squid, Mesonychoteuthis hamiltoni.
