  1. Colossal Squid to be defrosted by scientists - Telegraph

    (via riotrepublic, jamarch)

    Colossal Squids are formidable creatures, with eyes more than a foot in diameter, tentacles thicker than a man’s arm and bodies so large that they could provide calamari rings the size of tractor tyres.

    Renowned as aggressive hunters, they have swivelling hooks at the tips of their enormous tentacles. The colossal squid was only recognised by science in 1925, when two tentacles were found in a sperm whale’s stomach.

    Awesome. I love how “Colossal” is, like, a technical term.
