These incredible creatures can grow up to around 40 feet long and live deep in the ocean where sunlight cannot reach.One of the most amazing facts in this episode is that giant squids have the largest eyes in the animal kingdom.

That means there is still so much to learn about these mysterious creatures, making them one of the most exciting examples of nature exploration for kids.Listeners will also discover that giant squids have a powerful predator: the sperm whale.
