No sound that I can find, alas,

but I suspect there are some on this list who might be as interested as I a=
m
in the thawing of a 10m, 490 kg colossal squid specimen going on live, now,
in New Zealand.

A friend just forwarded the link, in addition to multiple webstreams from
different angles, there's a nice blog with some impressive pictures -- the
tentacle and arm hooks give me pause -- and commentary about the creature's
eyes, the size of soccer balls...

Too fascinating!
