What is the largest species of squid?

The largest species of squid is the colossal squid (Mesonychoteuthis dalli), which can grow up to 14 meters (46 feet) long. Found in the cold waters around Antarctica, the colossal squid is not only the largest squid but also one of the most elusive. It has the largest eyes in the animal kingdom, which help it see in the dark depths of the ocean. Despite its size, it feeds primarily on fish, including deep-sea species like the Antarctic toothfish.
