Re: Eye Size

I've searched around and can find no information on the eye size of 
the giant squid.  The book I searched for the eye size of the other 
animals doesn't list the squid but does claim that the blue whale has
the largest eyes (it does list other invertebrate eye sizes but none 
larger than that of the whale).

It is possible that the giant squid does have giant eyes.  Giant squid
have been reported to be 6 meters long with 11 meter arms.  Squid are of
the phylum Mollusca and the class Cephalopodia which also includes the 
octopus and cuttle fish.

Squid are used in neurologic research due to their large nerves and giant
axon.  You can find out more about marine animal research at the homepage 
for the Marine Biological Laboratory in Woods Hole, Massachusetts.
More information on invertebrates can be found at the Electronic Zoo.
