The giant squid is morphologically similar to smaller squid species, possessing a head, a mantle, and other features associated with cephalopods. It is characterized by the presence of two large fins attached to its mantle, eight arms, and two long tentacles. Lurking in the shadowy depths of the ocean, the giant squid is one of the most mysterious and elusive creatures on Earth. Rarely seen by humans, these deep-sea giants have inspired maritime legends for centuries. The giant squid ( Architeuthis dux ) is a legendary deep-sea inhabitant, renowned for its immense size and elusive nature. Reaching lengths of up to 40 feet or more, it is one of the largest invertebrates on Earth. Giant squid have small fins at the rear of their mantles used for locomotion. Like other cephalopods, they move through jet propulsion—by pulling water into the mantle cavity, and pushing it through the siphon, in gentle, rhythmic pulses.
