New Zealand divers were searching for a spot to dive when they happened upon an impressive, and kind of creepy-looking, giant squid:
"After we went for a dive we went back to [the squid] and got a tape measure out, and it measured 4.2 meters [13 feet] long," one of the divers, Daniel Aplin, told the New Zealand Herald.
A representative from the New Zealand Department of Conservation told the Herald that the divers most likely found a giant squid (Architeuthis dux) and not a colossal squid (Mesonychoteuthis hamiltoni). [Photos of the Stunning Deep-Sea Squid Feeding]
Both species of squid are formidable sea creatures, with giant squid typically reaching 16 feet (5 m) long, according to the Smithsonian, and the colossal squid reaching over 30 feet (10 m) long, according to the International Union for Conservation of Nature.

Sharks are very very scary. I think it would be nice if they all died. Very nice if that happens. Unfortunately, sharks are very tough. Great White Shark, that's one tough customer, believe me. But, one got eaten, they called it Shark Alpha. And many people say a tremendous Squid ate it!!!! youtu.be/Z_QyGANCUJI [youtu.be]
