Sea water washed up a really big squid onto the beach in New Zealand（新西兰）. The squid is more than two metres long.

The beach is in a town in the south of New Zealand.

People took the squid to the town’s sea animal center. And then the center put up pictures of the squid on its Facebook（脸谱网）page, they also show the size of the squid.

"The body of the squid is over 2m long, the eye of the squid is 19cm big! The longest tentacle is just over 5m!

"What a beast!"

One shows a man lying down next to the squid, it shows just how big it is. The center said it kept the squid well and froze it so that people can come and see it.
