Re: Australian Fishermen Catch 20-Foot, 500-Pound Giant Squid
MELBOURNE, Australia
Australian fishermen have hauled up a 20-foot-long giant squid off the country's southeastern coast.
Skipper Rangi Pene said Monday that the 500-pound squid was already dead when it was caught in a trawler's nets Sunday night in waters more than 1,640 feet deep.
Paul McCoy, a fisheries research biologist, said it took 10 men to lift the squid onto a stretcher and place it in a storage freezer in the city of Portland. A museum will collect it this week.
McCoy said an analysis by the museum would determine the type of squid, its age and possibly how it died.

Between all the snakes, the wierd stuff that lives in our oceans and the drop bears sometimes I'm amazed anyone lives here.
