Squid Giant - Aluminium

The Giant Squid - they've inspired many seafaring myths and legends. The Kraken, sea serpents, Cthulhu, all probably have their roots in giant squid sightings.

Giant squid can reach 13 metres long. And these are only the giant squid that scientists have caught and measured - sailors have claimed they've seen 18 metre long squid.  These gigantic animals are so secretive we might never know how big they really get. Like all squid, giant squid have beaks instead of teeth. These are very clever body parts, and are the only part of the squid that's hard. In fact, they're razor sharp - and it's the beak that allows the squid to chop and slice up it's prey. What’s truly bizarre is the fact that its oesophagus passes through the hole in the middle of its brain. Giant squids have to be really careful while swallowing, because if a meal isn’t broken down into small pieces first, it can rub against the brain and cause damage!
