Unfortunately, the giant squid Architeuthis has not been studied enough to make a comprehensive diet. From the few that have been dissected though, it was discovered that they would eat sperm whales that dive deep underwater.
The taxonomy of giant squids remains controversial; some scientists divide Architeuthis into several species, whereas others place them into the species A. dux. The giant squid is morphologically similar to smaller squid species, possessing a head, a mantle, and other features associated with cephalopods. It is characterized by the presence of two large fins attached to its mantle, eight arms, and two long tentacles.
