The deep sea is an awesome and scary place. Little is known about what lurks at the bottom of the sea, except that whatever is there will most likely be able to eat you whole.
Today, New Zealand scientists are thawing a colossal squid to begin a dissection. It has apparently been frozen for 14 months...like the chicken with freezer burn in my freezer. These squids can measure 50 feet long and attack whales. Since no mating has been observed, and the squids lack a hectocotylus, wikipedia authors speculate that, "they probably use a penis instead, which would be used to directly implant sperm into females" Moral of story, don't go into the waters in Antarctica, unless you want to be impregnated and eaten by one of the squids.
And this is just a small one
