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.

The giant squid is one of the most fascinating creatures of the deep. However, the exact population count of the species is yet to be determined due to the elusive nature of the squids.

Unknown.

But it can't be too small, for they are a food supply for Wales.
