While out on a fishing trip, a group of Japanese fisherman found a giant squid in the cold water. The squid weighed 360 pounds and was about eight metres long! Not only is that heavier that then average pig, but also taller than the average giraffe!

Up until this sighting, the largest squid that had ever been caught was 18 metres long!

In an interview, one of the fishermen named Shigenori Goto claimed, “I’d never seen anything like it before. I was surprised, there’s no other word for it. It was complete chaos on the boat – we all just started shouting, ‘Giant squid, giant squid!’.”

Unfortunately after being pulled to shore, the squid died. It has been sent away for tests at a research institute.
