Largest eye in the world

5. Physical Description

The shape of the Colossal squid is similar to that the giant squid, but with a larger mantle and shorter tentacles.

The body of the Colossal squid is wider and more compact than most other squid, making it heavier than even the Giant squid. Their limbs and tentacles are long and have sharp hooks equipped at the end.

Colossal squid beak

They can reach 46 feet in length and weigh around 1,100 pounds. The eyes of the Colossal squid are record breaking as well: 11 inches in diameter as measured from deceased specimens. The eye is estimated to be even larger, at about 12 to 16 inches, within living squids.

4. Diet

Information on the daily life of the Colossal Squid is limited due to the fact that there has not been a living specimen caught that has been observed.

However, what is known is that with the help of their large beaks, colossal squids are able to eat very large fish such as, for example, the Patagonian tooth fish. It is also likely that they dine on other squid as well.
