Book Description
A wonderful 32-page illustrated book that dives into the mysterious world of the colossal squid. Through engaging text and glorious images, it tells the story of a colossal squid's life, from hatching out of a tiny egg to escaping the jaws of a sperm whale and becoming the world's biggest invertebrate. Side topics range from Te Papa's colossal squid specimen to Maori exploration of the sub Antarctic. Readers will discover how the squid survives in the deep waters of Antarctica, and will meet other strange creatures that are uniquely adapted to this hostile environment. Like Te Papa's new Nature | Te Taiao exhibition zone, this book weaves together scientific inquiry, matauranga Maori, and plenty of humour. It shows how all living things are connected--and how we too are part of the natural world.

Book Description
The most mysterious and elusive of all sea creatures, the giant squid--at least sixty feet long and weighing nearly a ton--is also one of the largest. Yet for all its magnificent size and threatening undersea presence, Architeuthis has remained a mystery. Until now. In this marvelous and beautifully illustrated book, marine biologist, explorer, and artist Richard Ellis presents all that is known about the giant squid. Delving into myth, literature, popular culture, and science, he brings readers face to face with this remarkable creature. He also provides a thorough, compelling study of what is known and what is still to be discovered about this exotic animal that has never been studied alive. Interweaving his engrossing narrative with a wealth of fascinating illustrations and photographs, Ellis gives us the first comprehensive history of the only living creature that can truly be called a "sea monster."
