What do we know about Giant Squid?

Question

A giant squid was caught on camera by a japanese research team recently. The film they tool shows the creature taking bait and then emitting light. Unfortunately, the squid died while it was being captured.

This has gotten me wondering, what we know about giant squid is based of assumptions we have made based on its smaller relatives. What do we definately know about giant squid?

Answer 1

Unfortunately we know very little about the giant sqid. Other than what we can learn about them when they are caught in nets or found washed up on the beach. We know very little about their life, mating habits,migration or how long they live. There are theories that they grow to gigantic proportions based on the maks left on whales that may have tried to prey on them.

Answer 2

truly!!! they have beaks the length of a tremendous parrot which will weigh down bones. they have tens of millions of little enamel on their suction-cups alongside their tentacles...they are not something to debris with! BTW, there is an chance of a human encountering them - tremendous squid (6-8 ft) are pulled up even as fishing in Mexico each and every of the time and the fishermen received't enable then on the boat because they're so risky. imagine what a important squid might want to do.

Answer 3

ooohh oh when they are excited or curious, they change colors and emit light. That's one of the ways they communicate.

Answer 4

It actually did not die until it was attacked by a giant lump of wassabi.
