Auckland University of Technolgy researchers pose with a Colossal Squid at the Te Papa research laboratory in Wellington, April 2, 2003. The squid, which was found by fishermen in the Ross Sea, Antarctic, last week, is thought to be the largest intact specimen to have been found. The 330-pound 16-foot immature female 'Mesonychoteuthis hamiltoni' squid has eyes as big as dinner plates and razor-sharp hooks on the tentacles. (AP Photo/Mark Mitchell, New Zealand Herald )
