Actually it appears to be quite dead:

A giant squid has washed up near Strahan on Tasmania’s west coast.

The squid, measuring about six metres long, was found last night on Ocean Beach by a member of the public.

Zoology experts from the Tasmanian Museum and Art Gallery are hoping to examine the squid to find how old it was and how it died.

And that’s how we feel today…like a dead squid washed up on the shores of Tasmania. Too much to do. And everyone we know feels EXACTLY the same. Doomed, doomed, we tell you.
