A GIANT squid measuring more than seven metres in length has surprised locals after washing up on a popular New Zealand beach.
The massive squid was discovered by walkers in South Bay in Kaikoura on New Zealand’s South Island.
It has since been moved to the Kaikoura Marine Centre and Aquarium where it’s on display.
The squid’s mantle was reportedly over two metres long and the creature’s eye measured 19cm in diameter. The longest tentacle was also just over five metres long.
