I clicked on this as I love stories of wonderful and mysterious creatures of the deep . This one was about a “colossal” super giant squid that had never been filmed before although it has been known about for 100 years and is believed to grow to over 7 metres in length and weigh up to 500 kg. . Fabulous.

Except this one is a baby. 30cm long, length of a ruler! Cute, but not what I was hoping for.

The colossal squid, which has a transparent body and orange arms with tentacles on. It is floating in the deep sea, which is dark.

Colossal squid filmed by scientists for first time in ocean

Stunned scientists say the extremely rare squid can weigh up to 500kg (1,100lb).

No, the most disappointing news article of today was the Newcastle v Palace score.
