"Giant squid grabs London audience"

"One of the biggest and most complete giant squids ever found is on display
at London's Natural History Museum.

Measuring a monstrous 8.62m (28ft), the squid was caught off the coast of
the Falkland Islands by a trawler.

Imagine meeting that when you're out for a swim.

They're deep ocean beasties. Bits of them sometimes get washed ashore here
- I saw a preserved specimen of one of those finds, once. Although
impressive, it wasn't nearly as impressive as that one.

It's fascinating that something so large can share the planet with us and
be so little-known.

It is bad all the money we spend on trying to get out there; which I do
support. we don't even know what is around us.

Researchers at the museum undertook a painstaking process to preserve the
giant creature, which is now on display in a 9m- (30ft-) long glass tank."

The felines would enjoy devouring that.
