What is a giant squid?

Quick Answer

A giant squid is a deep-ocean cephalopod that can grow to enormous lengths. It has the largest known eyes of any animal.

The Full Story

The giant squid, Architeuthis dux, is one of the ocean’s most legendary animals. It lives in deep waters and is seldom seen alive, which made it a source of myths for centuries. Its huge eyes, often cited as the largest in the animal kingdom, likely help it detect faint light and predators in the deep sea. Giant squid are preyed upon by sperm whales, and occasional carcasses or rare live sightings have helped scientists learn more about them.
