This undated image issued by Michael Moore of the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution in Massachusetts, Thursday, Dec. 23, 2004 shows a sperm whale. Sperm whales routinely dive more than two miles (three kilometers) below the ocean surface to hunt for giant squid, but a study shows the huge mammals suffer a chronic loss of bone tissue from the bends, a painful condition well-known to human divers

Those scars are from giant squids! Researchers once found on the body of a sperm whale a few Octopus suction-cup marks that were about 2 meters in diameter!!

It's REAL sisters but it was a 'rare' catch and this squid currently holds the record in eye size

 

{source of the image}

 

The giant squid has the largest eye in the natural world. Although squid's eyes evolved on a separate branch of the tangle bank of life, they are remarkably like ours, except that they don't have the blind spot that human eyes have (Hack #16). This picture is from a book 'Extreme Nature' by Mark Carwardine (which the Guardian Weekend ran a piece on two weeks ago). This immature female is 17 foot long, but they go up to 49 foot apparently.
