An enormous 14-foot squid has washed up on the shores of Wellington, New Zealand, prompting images of the colossal cephalopod to go viral.
Three brothers, Dan, Jack and Matthew Aplin, stumbled upon the find on Saturday. Dan is a member of the Ocean Hunter Spearfishing & Freediving Specialists in Wellington, which posted several images of the impressive squid to its Facebook page.
"Wellington team member Dan had an interesting find in Wellington this morning!" the Ocean Hunter Spearfishing & Freediving Specialists captioned the images. The post had been shared almost 6,000 times as of Monday morning.

Wow! From the article: “The largest giant squid ever measured came in at 43 feet and weighed nearly a ton, according to Smithsonian Ocean.” Amazing..

Giant squids are inedible because they concentrated ammonia in their tissues.

A. Why was the Giant Squid beached? Does this happen spontaneously, when the creature becomes to old or too large to sufficiently feed itself?
B. Is there much difference between a huge squid and a large octopus?
