What is the colossal squid's locomotion?
The colossal squid moves by using its fins and jet propulsion. It can swim forward quickly by expelling water through a funnel-like structure to propel itself. The fins help with steering and stabilization as it moves through the water.
The heaviest invertebrate is the giant squid which is estimated to have a weight of about 2 tons spread out over its length of 70 feet. What is its weight in newtons?
The weight of the giant squid can be calculated by using the formula: weight = mass x gravity. Since weight is a force measured in newtons, the weight of the giant squid would be about 19,620 newtons (2 tons x 9.81 m/s^2).
What is the largest giant squid ever recorded?
A Colossal Squid (No joke, that is the actual species) caught by a fishing vessel in the Ross Sea near Antarctica in 2007. The beast was estimated to be around 33 feet long when caught. After death, the tentacles shriveled until it was only 14 feet long. However, even larger beaks have been found in the stomachs of whales, which proportionally would suggest a creature around 46 feet long.
Would a squid leave a fossil?
Most likely not.

Who would win in a squid vs a seal fight?
That depends on what kind of squid it is. If it's a giant squid, then the squid is going to win. If it's not very big, the seal will win.
How have squid adapted?
There are only two types of squid that live in Antarctica: the Colossal Squid and the Giant Squid. I believe they, like whales or seals, have an extra layer of blubber/fat that can protect them from the freezing water temperatures. Any other squid brought into Antarctica would die in minutes, if not seconds.
Does the colossal squid go to the surface to breathe?
no because colossal squid,s blood is cold and if he goes to the surface he will float and then he would not be able to return to the twilight zone

What is the life span of a giant squid in captivity?

What is a Kraken?
A Kraken is a huge sea monster in Norwegian Greek legend that looks like a giant octopus or giant squid. The legend may very well be born from rare occurrences of giant squid coming to the surface and attacking ships; Sperm whales are known to hunt down and eat giant squid. This giant squid theory seems unlikely though as a giant squid would probably die from the changing pressures before reaching the surface. I think it's a giant squid. A3 I believe I read that the Kraken was one of the "Titans". I think the Titans preceeded humanity here on earth, according to legend (the Greeks or Romans?), and all had been nearly killed off when humans became the primary and dominant species on earth. I think it was a sea monster, under the control of the God of the Sea, Poisedon. A4 Its one of the "Titans" A giant squid-like creature that would bring man down underwater and down to their dooms. A5 the kraken is a Scandinavian legend people think its a giant squid, i think its cousin the colossal squid and yes the would die before reaching the surface but in 2007 a new zealand fishing boat did their last cast they caught a fish but while reallying up the fish something bit on something big they found the first live colossal squid and that squid was not happy but the got it to new zealand. there is also the devil fish a giant octopus
Can you own a Squid?
--Because squid are spurt swimmers, it is dangerous to their safety to keep squid. They will often jet into the sides of the tank in which they are kept, and if this happens enough they can severely injure themselves. Very few squid are dangerous, the exceptions being those larger than humans, such as the Humboldt, Giant, and Colossal squids. You could illegally keep a squid, but they are very difficult to care for. Cuttlefish and octopods would be better alternatives.--
Do giant squids eat dolphins?
Yes because if you ask what they eat it would say squid so yes they do eat giant squid
Do we get ink from squids?
Colossal squids have an ink sac, so they have ink. However, not much is known about the ink.For further information, check out New Zealand's TePapa Museum site about the colossal squid: http://squid.tepapa.govt.nz/anatomy/article/colossal-squid-the-inside-storyQuote from the site: "All squid have a sac of ink inside the mantle. The ink is a dark liquid and is expelled through the funnel. If the squid meets a predator, it shoots out a cloud of ink, which hides the squid so it can escape. No one has ever seen a colossal squid producing ink so we can't be sure what the ink looks like or how the squid uses it. As there is no light down at 1,000 metres in the ocean, dark ink would be useless! It is possible that the colossal squid has luminescent ink."
