The giant squid has been found in net, stomachs of sperm whales and lying on seashores.  The giant squid has sharp teeth, lots of tentacles, and has the largest eye of the animal kingdom and the third largest animal in the sea.  The giant squid also is the largest invertebrates on earth being up to 60 maybe more feet long and are one of the biggest predators surviving in the sea.

  The giant squid lives in the depths of every ocean.  Believe it or not almost no one has seen the giant squid in its natural habitat (that is more then a mile below the surface) even with its size and scientists don’t even know if there is more then one species of giant squid. 

      The giant squid tentacles and arms that are covered in suckers they each have a surrounded by a ring of tooth like projections.  All the suckers can latch onto anther fish or animal with tremendous suction.  Its sucker helps it catch its prey.  The giant squid is in the Cephalopodan groups.  The Cephalopodan group includes octopus. 

  Sperm whales eat the giant squid, once a Soviet whaler watched a sperm whale and a squid battling.  Both had bad luck, the whale was straggled with the squid’s tentacles around its throat and the squid’s head in the whale’s stomach this was in 1965.

  If a giant squid goes into warm water then it usually is unable to get down again because its blood has trouble carrying oxygen through the its body at warm temperature so it suffocates.  That may be the resin why the giant squid is so mysterious.
