Fisherman Finds Rare Baby Giant Squid

A Florida fisherman found the remains of a rare baby giant squid that is nearly 7 feet long. About 15 giant squids have been found off the Florida or Bahamian coasts, but never any babies like this one, scientists said. Most giant squids have been discovered off the coast of New Zealand, and one has never been seen alive. The animals live between 2,400 and 3,000 feet below the ocean's surface and can get as long as 60 feet. (That's a lot of calamari!)
