Divers found a huge creepy squid on the beach in New Zealand.

These divers are easily dwarfed by the giant squid they found. Daniel Aplin divers searched for a good fishing spot on the south coast of Wellington on Saturday morning (August 25th). They found one of the most impressive creatures in the ocean: a giant squid that was dead but intact.

After diving, we returned to the squid. One of the divers, Daniel Aplin, told the New Zealand Herald:

A representative of the New Zealand Ministry of Conservation told The Herald that divers probably found a giant squid (Architeuthis dux) instead of a giant squid (Mesonychus Hamilton I). [Amazing photos of deep-sea squid foraging]

These two kinds of squid are terrible marine creatures. According to the Smithsonian Institution, giant squid is usually 65,438+06 feet (5 meters) long, while giant squid is 30 feet (65,438+00 meters) long. According to the International Union for Conservation of Nature,

Scientists know little about these deep-sea creatures because they are very rare. Most observations come from specimens that occasionally come ashore, as in this case, or are accidentally caught by fishermen.

The cause of death of this giant tentacle creature is unknown. Aplin told the Herald that the squid looked unscathed and divers "don't think that's what killed it", except for a small scratch. Aplin said that when divers checked the squid again after diving, they thought it had shrunk a little, but no animal decided to cook with dead squid.

He called it the Herald, and a friend of New Zealand's National Institute of Water and Atmospheric Research (NIWA) arranged the collection of this squid.

Aplin, an employee of marine shotgun fishing and free diving experts, posted a photo of this giant squid on the company's Facebook page, which caused a lot of comments. Imagine swimming in the past! "A commentator wrote," Who is going to Calamari? "Another article.
