Measuring 18 feet ( meters) long, analysis of the tentacle confirmed it came from a giant squid and allowed the researchers to estimate the total length of the animal. But the researchers caution that their data assume the tentacle was severed at it base. If not, the squid may have been considerably larger. The longest giant squid on record measured 59 feet (18 meters), including its two elongated tentacles. Shedding Light on Giant Squid Giant squid, along with their close cousins colossal squid (Mesonychoteuthis), have the largest eyes of any animal. Giant squid do have particularly large eyes, which would suggest vision is important to them.

But as reliance on the Web grows, there are signs that the question is getting more serious attention: Last month, a study published in CNS Spectrums claimed to be the first largescale look at excessive Inter use. The American Psychiatric Association may consider listing Inter addiction in the next edition of its diagnostic manual. And scores of online discussion boards have popped up on which people discuss negative experiences tied to too much time on the Web. There39。re not getting to work, and family relationships are breaking down as a result, then it39。re overdoing their Inter involvement, said psychiatrist (精神科醫(yī)生 ) Ivan Goldberg. Goldberg calls the problem a disorder rather than a true addiction. Jonathan Bishop, a researcher in Wales specializing in online munities, is more skeptical. The Inter is an environment, he said.

But I don39。nobody has ever seen a living giant squid39。s Ogasawara Islands in September 2022, shows the squid homing in on the baited line and enveloping it in a ball of tentacles. Tsunemi Kubodera of the National Science Museum in Tokyo and Kyoichi Mori of the Ogasawara Whale Watching Association report their observations this week in the journal Proceedings of the Royal Society B. Architeuthis appears to be a much more active predator than previously suspected, using its elongated feeding tentacles to strike and tangle prey, the researchers write. They add that the squid was found feeding at depths where no light perates even during the day. Giant Breakthrough Despite people39。 5.

Squid expert Martin Collins of the British Antarctic Survey based in Cambridge, England, says the new images are a fantastic achievement. The marine biologist says he was skeptical that a dedicated giant squid hunt would succeed. He thought the first wild sighting would probably e by accident. Fair play to these guys who39。t think it is the case. It is true that municating by letters is not as convenient as by telephone. However, letter writing makes people think clearly.
