Giant squids may seem like just urban legends or just childhood fantasies as the modern era have shooed them away from men. However, just last May 12, a real giant squid was found in Kaikoura beach in New Zealand.

Photos of a giant squid were released by Kaikoura Marine Center and Aquarium. They were even posted on their Facebook Page. According to their post, the squid is over 2 meters long and has a 19cm eye diameter. It is even bigger than an adult male. Its longest tentacle is over 5 meters!

Currently, the squid is now frozen and on display at their aquarium. They would also be sending some samples to Auckland and Otago universities for research.
