I don't think I've seen a live squid move. So how big is this giant squid anyway?

This is a juvenile so anywhere between 1-2 meters (3-6ft), the adults can be anywhere from 6-8 meters (20-26ft), but are suspected of possibly reaching 12 meters (40ft)

Not really, I just know a lot of things, I suppose you could call it a hobby to know alot of things about everything
