Residents of Saint Helena Bay, which is approximately 150 kilometres north of Cape Town, woke up on Sunday to the rare sight of a giant squid stranded on Britannia Bay Beach.
Sightings of actual giant squids around the Western Cape are few and far between, although this guy managed to get up close and personal.
Last weekend, Shigenori Goto became the latest fisherman to mistakenly haul up a very rare giant squid in his fishing nets.
