The giant squid Architeuthis dux is a species of deep-ocean dwelling squid in the family Architeuthidae. The mantle of the giant squid is about 2 m long, and the length of the squid excluding its tentacles rarely exceeds 5 m. Claims of specimens measuring 20 m or more have not been scientifically documented. And it is dicovered by a Japanese research team in 2004.
