well if they approach in too great numbers I say we bomb them all just in case.
My God man, we'd have too they might team up the eels and be carrying weapons of mass electrical conduction.
After all that trouble i went to in order to find a decent picture, no one even commented on it :bummer: Here’s a better one (i think):

The squid, which was found by fishermen in the Ross Sea, Antarctic, last week, is thought to be the largest intact specimen to have been found. The 330-pound 16-foot immature female ‘Mesonychoteuthis hamiltoni’ squid has eyes as big as dinner plates and razor-sharp hooks on the tentacles. (AP Photo/Mark Mitchell, New Zealand Herald).

Wow that's a big 'un. How many legs do skwids have and are oktopusses the same things?
PS: Loverly pic, look's like a messy job though.
aw 
hehe. Muchas gracias for commenting on it.
Thanks, Thap. 
Nice Nadia, all these squibs here and I missed the pic of the squid.
Growing up as a kid (I used to be one you know) reading Jules Verne, all that Captain Nemo malarkey…what was his submarine called again? Well anyway, they always had giant squids attacking ships and the like……it’s big yeah but could it take on a schooner?
Anyway do you think this could actually happen....I reckon any self-respecting whale would make sushi out of it.

Nemo's ship....the Nautilus wasn't it?.....well I never...a submarine named after a Cephalopod....and a squid's one of them Cephalopod's too.
UTD, That’s alright, sometimes little things get buried under the bigger ones. Many many thanks for commenting on the picture Regarding my whining back there - sorry about that. Dunno what got into me. Just looking for attention, i fear
Thap, lolz. i wish i had your sense of humour. Yes it was the Nautilus. i remember reading and re-reading that book at least a dozen times each week - i was fascinated by that underwater submarine and the entire process of living in this other world.
Anyways - hey i just remembered something you stated in another thread. Didn’t you major in marine biology?
Not majored but it was part of the syllabus for my degree.
I was more into Ammonoidea, you know Goniatites and the like, long extinct cousins of the squid....hard shelled beasties that could really do some damage to a ship. I used to have a fossil 1 metre across of an Ammonite, ah them was the days when a piece of rock gave me such pleasure.
assalamoalikum 
now that is something, a giant clossial squid. BTW how deep in the ocean do they live and are they the most dangerous sea animal alive or is it the sperm whale.
also, which animal lives the deepest in the sea!!!
Thap, That’s awesome. Do you still have that fossil by any chance?
Insolent Mods’, On the discovery channel website it states that these creatures can grow upto 60 feet long… i never knew that 
And the size of one eye can be as large as a human head. Cool, eh ? Apparently, giant squids live (or feed?) 2000 feet under the surface (east coast of New Zealand, mostly).
Male sperm whales, though, i think grow to be an average of 60 feet - i think. Females are about half that. For feeding, sperm whales travel down to a depth of more than 3000 feet. Squids are an important part of their diet - but i am not certain whether sperm whales would be capable of eating giant squids. Perhaps male sperms do, if they are able to prey upon one successfully but i doubt a 35-foot female sperm whale would be able to attack a 55-foot giant squid.
