Giant Squid, Natural History Museum, London

Posted in Falkland Islands History  by Discovery Falklands on March 26th, 2011

This is one of the biggest and most complete giant squids ever found. It is on display at London’s Natural History Museum, in the Tank Room of the Darwin Centre. Measuring 8.62m (28ft), the animal was caught off the coast of the Falkland Islands by a trawler. It has been in the Museum since 2006. This footage was taken on Tuesday 12th January 2010. Also – the creature at the very beginning of the video is part of a colossal squid (specimen not complete). The giant squid starts at about 10secs in, with the tip of one of the tentacles. If you are in London, this specimen is well worth a look
