King squid, mainly living in the deep sea areas of the Pacific Ocean and the Atlantic Ocean. Generally speaking, the adult giant squid can double in length, reaching 10- 13 meters. The legendary 18-20m king squid on the Internet is basically exaggerated, and there is not enough scientific proof.

The weight of the king squid is much lighter than everyone thinks. The largest female is only 275 kg, and the male is even only 150 kg. It's just not slim. Only their eyes are 27 cm in diameter, which is bigger than basketball, which helps them to see more clearly in the dark sea. The sucker of the king squid is also 8 cm in diameter, which is about the size of an apple.
