TEHRAN, Young Journalists Club (YJC) - Divers Daniel, Jack and Matthew Aplin spotted the big whitish creature with giant tentacles while searching the coastline south of New Zealand’s capital Wellington for a place to swim.
The men have reportedly encountered sharks in the area before, but it’s the first time they’ve seen a giant squid. Why the creature had washed ashore and ended its days this way, isn't clear.
The men, described as "big dudes," looked dwarf-like when they took several snaps alongside what has been identified as a 4.2-meter-long giant squid by the Department of Conservation, according to the brothers.
