Giant Squid Remains Found In Australia

Remains of a giant squid has been found floating by The Daily Telegraph fishing columnist Al McGlashan off the New South Wales south coast, Australia. According to a report from The Daily Telegraph Australia, the giant squid measured about 3m long, even though most of its tentacles had been bitten off, possibly by a sperm whale.

“It must have died not that long before we found it because it didn’t smell at all and its colours were still strong – most giant squid remains are smelly and rotten and just off-white by the time someone finds them,” McGlashan was quoted as saying.

Meanwhile, McGlashan revealed that while they are filming the giant squid, a 2.5m blue shark appeared and fed on it. “It hoed into the squid straight away and didn’t care a bit that it was right next to us; it was taking great chunks out of the squid in one bite,” McGlashan reportedly said.
