Now however scientists have for the first time revealed the discovery of several baby giant squid specimens that had been sent to cephalopod expert Toshifumi Wada for identification after being caught by fishermen off the coast of Japan back in 2013.
Despite being juveniles the squid are actually larger than the adults of most other squid species.
When fully grown some giant squid can reach a staggering 43ft in length.
