Fishermen in New Zealand may have captured the largest Colossal squid ever recorded. It may be the first time a Colossal squid has been seen alive.

The beast, weighing 450 kilograms (990 pounds), was eating a Patagonian toothfish (Chilean sea bass) hooked by fishermen when it was captured in the deep, frigid waters in the Ross Sea near Antarctica.




The Colossal squid (Mesonychoteuthis hamiltoni) -- a marine mollusk related to cuttlefish, octopus, and giant squid -- is one of the least known sea animals. They are believed to grow up to 45 feet in length.
