Giant 13-Foot Deep-Sea Squid Washes Ashore in News Zealand - Video
Giant squids, that can grow to lengths of up to 43-feet, can rarely be seen alive as they normally live at depths of about 1,000 to 3,300 feet.
In a rare sighting, a 13-foot-long
giant deep-sea squid carcass was found washed up on the sandy coastline of New Zealand's Golden Bay beach.
A group of tourists, who were on a trip to the Farwell Spit area, which has the longest natural sandbar in New Zealand, were shocked to see the creature and photographed themselves with it.
Tour guide Anton Donaldson shared a glimpse of the giant deep-sea squid on Facebook* and said that it's a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to witness one of the true mysteries of the deep.
"When it's something a bit different it's a special thing to experience. But at the same time there was some sadness about a creature like that. A magnificent example of a large sea creature that lives at the bottom of the ocean unfortunately on the beach, not alive anymore," Donaldson told
Newsweek.
Amazed by the sight, one user wrote, "Damn that's a big squid," while another commented, "I can almost smell it! Amazing creature!"
"Dunno why I feel a sudden urge for fried calamari," replied the third.
