New ZealandThey found a giant squid that was washed ashore
The profound animal was four meters long and some of its claws had bite marks.
Perhaps the animal died in the water and its body, which arose from the depths, was washed ashore.

On September 9, guide Anton Donaldson took a group of tourists to the Farewell Spit Nature Reserve, a narrow strip of land in the far north of New Zealand’s South Island. A co-worker texts him to tell him he’s getting a surprise at the beach.
Soon, the group saw a large, white-colored mass on the sand. The guide immediately knew what it was and announced to the tourists that they would get a chance to see a giant squid. In fact, this animal of the depths is rarely found confined to beaches. This one measures 4 meters, according to “New Zealand Herald ». Some of its claws bear bite marks. The squid must have died in the water and was partially devoured by other marine animals.
Tentacles were deployed, the length of the animal is about 4 meters.

Squids live at depths of 500-1000 meters, and once they reach adulthood, they no longer surface. Some of them can reach 13 meters in length and weigh up to 300 kilograms.
