The new squid was lengthy, but it had enormously long tentacles, and was nowhere near the mass of a "normal" giant squid. By the way, it is almost certainly not a "new" squid as was reported, it was known on film since at least the mid 90's.
There so called "other" giant squid, Mesonychoteuthis, is quite different from the "normal" kind Architeuthis. Mesonychoteuthis has arms with swiveling hooks in the middle, which is what the name translates to from latin. The claw is not in the sucker, it is a completely separate. The bizarre thing is, this squid was known for about 100 years previous, and I am shocked it took so long for the public to realize it exists! |
