A Colossal Squid (No joke, that is the actual species) caught by a fishing vessel in the Ross Sea near Antarctica in 2007. The beast was estimated to be around 33 feet long when caught. After death, the tentacles shriveled until it was only 14 feet long. However, even larger beaks have been found in the stomachs of whales, which proportionally would suggest a creature around 46 feet long.

Has a giant squid ever killed a human?

Well, I've never heard of a Giant Squid eating a human but I do know they killed a few. Its likely there are numerous deaths and attacks on fishermen and divers but most go unreported. Technically a Giant Squid has the capability to klil and devour a human. It is even rumored they could and have killed sperm wells but such cases have never been reported. Odds are we will never know if they can kill some of the largest animals in the see since whales sink when they die and rarely wash up on shores.
