Well, no, people have not been eaten by giant squid. This behemoth prefers very, very deep and cold waters where no humans can survive. There are no scuba divers down this deep. We're talking mesopelagic layer, maybe 1,000 meters or even more. Not without a submarine. Though dead ones sometimes wash ashore.\n\nHumboldt squid have been filmed near fishing boats where the squid were in terrible pain and being killed and the photographers needed cages or they would be attacked. The locals called them Red Devils and claimed they were more dangerous than sharks. They even cannibalized each other. However, when filmed far, far away from the carnage the Humboldt squid were peaceful and inquisitive and did not attack photographers who did not need a shark cage and were not in one.\n\nI believe whether it is Humboldt squid or common squid or the giant squid that their behavior will be more similar than different. They probably would not attack human unprovoked with a blood lust, even if they did live closer to the surface than they do.

clipped from www.wisegeek.com\n\nFor sheer length you can't beat a female Giant Walking Stick (Phobaeticus serratipes). Found in Malaysia and Singapore, looking like an assemblage of twigs, it is perfectly camouflaged among the branches where it lives. The longest specimen on record was an amazing 21.8" (55.5cm). Some people even keep these huge insects as pets.\n\nThe Giant Walking Stick may be long, but it doesn't have much mass. For that you have to turn to the giant scarab beetles. Among them, entomologists have settled on 5 contenders:\n\nThe South American Longhorn Beetle (Titanus giganteus) of French Guiana makes perhaps the most impressive showing with a body length over 6.5" (16.7cms).\n\nA shorter but far thicker competitor is the Acteon Beetle (Megasoma acteon) of South America. Males can grow to 5.3" (13.5cms) long by 1.6" (4cms) thick. \n\nThe Elephant Beetle (Megasoma elephas) found in Mexico and Venezuela has a shorter body than the Aceton, but a longer snout, making its total recorded length 5.4" (13.7cms).\n\nBringing up the rear are two species of Goliathus: regius and goliatus, both measuring in at 4.3" (11cms).\n\nIn 1874 the Rev. J. G. Wood published Insects Abroad, in which he claimed to have in his possession a 9" (22.8cm) South American Longhorn Beetle (Titanus). A specimen this large has never been documented since, and no one is quite sure what method he used to measure the bug. Therefore the accepted recorded length remains at 6.5" (16.7cms), which still leads the top five contenders.\n\nAlthough the Giant Walking Stick and scarab beetles win for length and mass, for sheer weight you'll have to turn to the giant wetas (Deinacrida heteracantha) of New Zealand. A pregnant female can top the scales at over 2 ounces (71gms)! \n\nThere are well over 1 million insect species known, with an estimated 10 million still undocumented. However, the title of world's biggest insect remains a matter of what constitutes "biggest" to you: length, mass or weight!

Architeuthis, the giant squid has already been found. We are finding new lifeforms on the ocean bottom on a daily basis.

hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha well its either a whale or a penis

A blue whale. It's brain weighs 6kg (and its body weighs 60 000).\nHumans have the largest brains in relation to their body size.
508749
The largest brain in the animal kingdom is that of a sperm whale (as much as six times the size of a human brain). The largest land animal brains are in elephants.

A museum in Britain recently got a hold of a fairly well preserved one about 28 feet long.  I believe larger ones have been found, and based on (spikes?  sucker marks? beaks of eaten squid?) measured on sperm whales, truly humongous ones are out there.  \n\nA Japanese team got several photographs of a live one, a major first. The National Geo article linked to below has more history on giant squid observations.\n\nThey are hard to find because they live very deep and the oceans are large to boot.  Something like that is going to need a large hunting area so there won't be a huge concentration of them.

Like the person above me said, the mantle of the squid acts like a "backbone" of the invertebrate. Because it belongs in the Phylum Molluska, it means that it is soft bodied, generally with a hard outer or inner shell. So, the mantle is the inner "shell" redesigned when squid needed to evolve to swim faster.

when the time comes disguise yourself as a giant squid. if all else fail, jump right into its mouth.  good luck and may the squids bless you.

RUSSIAN MAD MONK RASPUTIN'S ORGAN WAS 13" LONG- READ EXCERPTS FROM WEB PAGES - It is world's  famous and it is preseved at museum at st. Peterburg. The image can be viewed at - \n\nhttp://www.mostemailed.com  \nhttp://www.tomflynn.co.uk\n\nhttp://www.mosnews.com/news/2004/04/28/rasputin.shtml\n"There is one exhibit in the museum which makes Knyazkin be especially proud of. This is the 30-centimeter preserved penis of Grigory Rasputin. “Having this exhibit, we can stop envying America, where Napoleon Bonaparte’s penis is now kept. … Napoleon’s penis is but a small ”pod“ it cannot stand comparison to our organ of 30 centimeters…” the head of the museum said."\n\nhttp://www.st-petersburg-life.com/st-petersburg/rasputins-penis -\n"An impressive 11 inches (nearly 30cm) long, and as thick as most men's wrists, the pickled pecker certainly measures up to the reports of Rasputin's raking rapier - which according to his daughter Marie (we're afraid to ask how she would know this!) was a whopping 13 inches long when pointing skywards"\n\nI am not getting any evidance about Mike Tyson's organ. Napoleon Bonaparte’s  come next to Rasputin as per the above reference-

Possibly something about their life span (they live only about a year or two) or the fact that an octopus is really just a giant squid.  Or that they are sometimes known as "devil fish".  Or that they are masters of disguise and use camouflage well.  These sites should give you lots of ideas.  I hope this helps.

Probably a male orca somewhere, there was a gray whale calf kept for a while recovering from a stranding , but I don't know whether it attained a larger size than a male orca before it was returned to the wild. Blue whales are the only whales that reach 30m and 120 t and they have never been kept in captivity

According to Wikipedia "Seahorses range in size from 16 mm to 35 cm" - so, knowing the shape of the seahorse, I guess at anywhere between 3 and 7mm.  It is impossible to be exact as the size varies from species to species, and from top to bottom doesn't it?!!

Largest Animal: The Blue Whale can grow to 110 feet in length, weighing in at 209 tonnes!\n\nThe whale shark is up to 46 feet (14 m), weighing up to 15 tons. The average size is 25 feet (7.6 m) long It is the largest fish in the world. Females are larger than males (like most sharks).

Large, but Short-Lived Mollusk\nThe largest of at least 90 subspecies of octopus, the giant octopus can grow to 300 pounds and have a 30-foot arm span. However, mature males average only about 50 pounds and females, about 33 pounds. Their arm spans typically are about eight feet. Despite its fearsome appearance, the giant octopus—while quite resourceful—is very shy and poses little danger to divers, fishermen, or swimmers. These mollusks are distant relatives of garden snails and slugs, and closer relatives of squids and cuttlefish. The giant octopus can be found in the coastal waters of northern California through the Gulf of Alaska, and around the Pacific Rim to Japan and Korea. They live in waters just beyond the low-tide mark to depths of up to 1,500 feet along the continental shelf. They usually live about three to five years.
