If those size estimates are accurate… DAMN.

20,000 leagues under the see wasnt to far off.

Mmmm calamari

EDIT: nevermind its still young

did u see the date of that article?

lol wow almost 4 years ago. still very large

there’s soooo many lifeforms that we have no idea about at the bottom of the ocean it’s amazing

Weird - the deeper you go, the bigger things get. One would think it would be the opposite due to all that deep-ocean pressure…

I think it really is amazing how different life is underwater, it truly is a completely different world. It;s just weird to think about that since the beginning of time we have been surrounded water, yet we know so little as to what is really down there.

that would make some good calamari

Bump for the biggest one yet. :slight_smile:

39 feet long and 990 pounds. “Calamari the size of tractor tires.”

:word: There are some pretty freaky lookin creatures down there. I agree though, It really is amazing that with the amount of people in this world and exploration they do, we are still finding massive numbers of new creatures all the time. I dunno…I think it’s interesting.
