Webcast live of largest squid ever caught
In New Zealand they are about to undergo a dissection of the largest squid ever caught, weighing in at 1,089-pound, and a staggering 26 feet long. The squid was accidentally caught by fisherman last year, and now has been removed from the freezer for scientists to examine.
The entire process is being webcast live over the internet. It’s pretty impressive we were just checking this out, and you have the option of viewing 4 different camera angles. Here are the links to all cameras, or you can see all 4 cameras on one page. You can can even hear audio included in the webcast….I was trying to listen for the Kiwi accent!
