 WELLINGTON, New Zealand (AP) - A colossal half-ton squid, believed to be the largest ever caught, may be destined for the microwave oven.
But researchers say they don't want to cook the massive creature — just defrost it so they can study it better.
Scientists at New Zealand's national museum, Te Papa Tongarewa, have taken possession of the beast that took fishermen two hours to land after it was netted by chance in Antarctic waters last month and was frozen soon afterward to preserve it.
