So with the picture of the giant squid in my earlier post, here’s an article about a giant squid that has the world’s largest eyes. They found the carcass of a rare colossal squid that had eyes that measured about 11 inches across (bigger than a dinner plate) – and making it the largest animal eye on EARTH!

“This is the only intact eye (of a colossal squid) that’s ever been found. It’s spectacular,” said Auckland University of Technology squid specialist Kat Bolstad, one of a team of international scientists brought in to examine the creature.

When you think about sea monsters you think of the giant creatures in movies or in books. I came across these series of real-life “sea monsters” pictures that I wanted to share with you.

At the time of this 2007 photo, Japanese scientists had captured what may be the first images of a live giant squid.

A Cambodian fisherman holds a giant stingray fish on the Mekong River near the Cambodian/Vietnam border on Dec. 10, 2002. The giant stingray may be the largest freshwater fish species in the world.

Two giant ”echizen” jellyfish are seen swimming in the Sea of Japan five meters below the surface off the Town of Echizen, Fukui Prefecture. Local fishermen blame the creatures for damaging their fishing nets.
