The giant squid of the Newfoundland Banks, illustrated by Herbert Judy of the New York Zoological So
The giant squid of the Newfoundland Banks, illustrated by Herbert Judy of the New York Zoological Society, 1905. Giant squids can reach 60 feet in length and have been found both in the Pacific Ocean and the North Atlantic. The giant squid is possibly the source of many tales about sea monsters over the years. In fact, the existence of these creatures was not definitively proven until the 1870s, when specimens were recovered by fishing boats.{WHF} {HTE} {Medium} -- source link
