Giant squid, measuring 7 meter (21 ft) , encased in a block of ice at the Melbourne Aquarium. The 250-kilogram creature, caught by commercial fishermen off New Zealand’s South Island earlier this year, has cost the aquarium more than $100,000, which included purchasing and transporting the squid. The bill also included displaying the squid in a purpose-built 3½-tonne block of ice.
