The ocean hides giants — and one of them sees the world through massive, dinner plate-sized eyes.
Let’s take a deep dive 👇
👁️ Eye-popping stats:
The colossal squid (Mesonychoteuthis hamiltoni) has eyes measuring up to 30–35 cm (12–14 inches) across.
That’s the largest eye of any animal ever discovered — about the size of a frisbee or a dinner plate. 😳

🌊 Why such big eyes?
The deep sea is pitch black, and larger eyes help capture even the tiniest bit of light.
These eyes allow the squid to spot predators like sperm whales from far away, even in near-complete darkness.

🧠 Bonus:
The colossal squid is also one of the heaviest invertebrates, weighing up to 500 kg (1,100 lbs).
Most of what we know comes from rare deep-sea encounters — they’ve barely ever been seen alive.

So yeah…
There’s a squid out there with better night vision than you could ever dream of.
