I really enjoyed watching the documentary on giant squid yesterday in class. I’ve seen a documentary in the past on Giant Squid and find that this species of squid is interesting and mysterious. I came across a website ( http://www.unmuseum.org/squid.htm ). This website discusses past sightings of the Giant squid, mostly by sailors who thought that they were seeing a sea monster.
I’ve heard about whales fighting with Giant Squid. In this article it talks about a lighthouse watchmen from danger point in South Africa, who has actually seen the battle between a right whale and a Giant Squid. It was said that they struggled with each other for an hour and a half staying underwater for about ten minutes and the whale only coming up for air for around three seconds. In this case the squid won and the whale was never seen. I could imagine it would be quite the sight to see a whale and a giant squid fight!
