Colossal Squid – Largest Known Eyes Discovered

Giant SquidResearch staff at the Museum of New Zealand Te Papa Tongarewa have been studying a rarely seen Colossal Squid caught by fishermen off the Antarctic coast last February. They found that it has eyes measuring 27cm in diameter – the largest eye found to date!

There are regular updates on the Te Papa Blog and videos of the ongoing examination.

I wonder if NHBS is the only bookshop in the world with a Cephalopods Category on our website?
