Mature Male Colossal Squid Landed in New Zealand
The BBC is reporting that a Colossal Squid (Mesonychoteuthis Hamiltoni) has been caught by a New Zealand trawler in Antarctic waters:
Fisheries Minister Jim Anderton said the squid, weighing an estimated 450kg (990lb), took two hours to land in Antarctic waters. [...] Local news said the Mesonychoteuthis hamiltoni was about 10m (33ft) long, and was the first adult colossal squid landed intact.
