What is the significance of this dissection of a New Zealand colossal squid?
According to Susan Waugh, a senior curator at Te Papa, scientists hope to discover more about where colossal squids fit in the food chain, how much genetic variation there are in squids and basic facts about how the sea creatures live and die.
Waugh added that scientists also plan to further assess the condition of the squid before determining whether to put it out for public display.
New Zealand colossal squid information, over the next couple of weeks, will be reported by the Te Papa museum, hopefully answering the many questions people have about the species.
