00:10A creature of gargantuan proportions with squid-like tentacles
00:15and an insatiable hunger for sailors.
00:19Of course, no evidence of such an encounter exists,
00:22but is there any truth in the myth?

00:31The giant squid and the colossal squid.
00:36The largest invertebrates on planet Earth.
00:42Both grow to about 12 metres long.
00:45That's the sight of a bus.
00:49But these timid titans are found at more than 500 metres deep,
00:54so it's unlikely they'll ever glimpse a boat in their lifetimes.
00:58So if it's not the giant squid that sailors need to worry about, who is it?
01:03Well, it's the Humboldt squid.
01:09They're very, very powerful and they can reach weights of up to 50 kilograms.
01:13They also hunt in packs.
01:15Or when you're talking about squid, they're called squads.
