the first confirmed video of this species in its natural habitat – a 30-centimetre juvenile

For my fellow Americans that is about the ~~length of a $5 sub from subway~~ height of two soda cans on top of a tuna can.

at a depth of 600 metres

This is ~6 1/2 football fields.

Colossal squid can grow up to seven metres

~~7~~ ~~70~~ 10 standard washing machines in width

and weigh as much as 500 kilograms

55 watermelons

No idea, I have not been to Subway since 2017 or 2018. I just figured they added more sugar to the bread and less filling inside the sandwiches.

I haven't stepped foot in a Subway since they discontinued the "Five . . . . Five dollar foot loooong." EAR WORMS. Get them out, get them out . . . .
