    the first confirmed video of this species in its natural habitat – a 30-centimetre juvenile

    For my fellow Americans that is about the length of a $5 sub from subway height of two soda cans on top of a tuna can.

    at a depth of 600 metres

    This is ~6 1/2 football fields.

    Colossal squid can grow up to seven metres

    7 70 10 standard washing machines in width

    and weigh as much as 500 kilograms

    55 watermelons

        No idea, I have not been to Subway since 2017 or 2018. I just figured they added more sugar to the bread and less filling inside the sandwiches.

            Look, converting metric to anything but metric is not an exact science. It is open to artistic interpretations. The number is about 10.
