An impressive giant squid was discovered on the shores of Bahía Feliz, located in the municipality of San Bartolomé de Tirajana, in the south of Gran Canaria on Thursday.
The rare find has sparked amazement among local residents and beachgoers, drawing attention to this mysterious deep-sea creature.
Although sightings of giant squids are unusual, they are not entirely unprecedented in the Canary Islands. These waters have occasionally witnessed similar specimens washed ashore, offering a rare glimpse into a world that typically remains hidden in the depths of the ocean.
Giant squids, belonging to a group of large cephalopods, are usually found in deep waters and are rarely seen near the surface. Their immense size and striking appearance fascinate both scientists and the general public, as living specimens are notoriously elusive.
The discovery in Bahía Feliz has attracted a stream of onlookers eager to get a closer view of the creature. Its presence serves as a reminder of the vital role these animals play in marine ecosystems and highlights the rich biodiversity that surrounds the Canary Islands.
