Summary

On this episode, we learn all about the colossal squid – an animal that no one has actually seen move around in the ocean. In this episode you’ll learn about their predators, how they attack prey, how colossal they really are, and the surprising amount they need to eat to stay alive.

Thanks to Fox and Frye for the suggestion!
