It’s usually one of the mysteries of the deep – but an elusive giant squid has been found in a fishing net off the coast of Japan.
The 4m (12ft) beast was found by fisherman Shigenori Goto swimming in one of his fixed nets about 70m underwater off the coast of Sadogashima island.
After it was brought to the surface, the squid – later found to be male – died.
‘This is the first time I’ve seen such a large squid,’ Mr Goto told reporters in Japan.
The giant squid was taken to a local government marine research institute in Niigata for research.
Giant squids are rarely seen because of the depths at which they live.
