Giant Squid: Strange Monsters of the Deep

What is a giant squid?
Giant squid are strange looking animals. They are a long tube with a head and arms sticking out the front.
They are also big. A giant squid can be 60 feet (18.3 metres) long from its tail to the tip of its longest arms. It can weigh more than 1,000 pounds (454 kg). That is a HUGE animal!
Some people have said giant squid are even bigger. But scientists think that they were pulling on the squid's arms to make them longer when they were measuring.
