In this photo released by New Zealand Fisheries Department on Thursday, Feb. 22, 2007,
shows an unidentified New Zealand fisherman with a giant squid believed to have been
caught in early February 2007 in the Ross Sea, Antarctica. The creature, known as a
colossal squid (scientific name Mesonychoteuthis hamiltoni) and is thought to be the
largest squid ever found anywhere in the world, weighing an estimated 450kg (990lbs),
150kg heavier than the next biggest specimen ever found.
