An 11.5-foot-long (3.5-meter-long) leftover, this giant squid arm was recovered at the surface from another sperm whale hunt on October 14, 2009, in the same place as feeding frenzy photographed underwater the next day.

It would be fatal to a diver if that squid got a liplock on him with those arms!

That looks nasty, but I am somewhat dyslexic. I thought you had a picture of Barney Frank I was going to have to report to Jim Rob.

Not so ‘giant’ when compared to the whale.
