Giant squid netted off Australia


MELBOURNE, AUSTRALIA -- Australian fishermen have hauled up a 6-metre giant squid off the country's southeastern coast.
Skipper Rangi Pene says the 225-kilo squid was dead when it was caught in a trawler's nets Sunday night in waters more than 500 metres deep.
Biologist Paul McCoy said it took 10 men to lift the squid onto a stretcher and place it in a freezer to await scientists. http://www.ottawasun.com/News/National/2008/05/27/5676361-sun.html
