| Giant squid washed up on Tasmaina beach | |
| Zoologists say it remains a mystery how a 200-kilogram giant squid came to be washed up on Tasmania's west coast.
The giant squid was found by a member of the public on a beach near Strahan on Tuesday night.
Zoologists from the Tasmanian Museum and Art Gallery say the squid's hood and body is more than three metres long and they estimate its full size with tentacles would have been seven metres, with a weight of around 200kg.
They believe it is the first of its kind to be washed up on the west coast.
The Museum's senior curator of invertebrate zoology Genefor Walker-Smith says it is exciting to be able to learn from the rare specimen, but it is still not clear how the giant squid died.
"There's no marks to suggest it was attacked by anything," she said. "It could have just died of old age."
The squid has been taken to Hobart for further examination.
