Friday Squid Blogging: They're Defrosting a Colossal Squid in New Zealand
News here, here, here, here, here, and here. And stories about the squid’s big eyes here and here.
(It is certainly colossal: 1,089 pounds and 26 feet long.)
There’s live video. There’s also a lecture series. Video will be available on the Web.
EDITED TO ADD (5/9): More.
