Deep sea monster squid found Thursday, April 3, 2003 Posted: 3:26 PM EST (2026 GMT) WELLINGTON, New Zealand (Reuters) -- A rare and dangerous squid with eyes the size of dinner plates and scores of razor-sharp hooks to snag its prey has been caught by fishermen off Antarctica, New Zealand scientists said on Thursday.
