Based on this material, which consisted of a 40 cm long arm and 115 cm tentacle, Kir Nesis estimated the mantle length at 265–275 cm, and the total length at over 4 m. [3] This would make it the second largest squid species in terms of mantle length, after only the colossal squid , and even surpassing the mantle length of the giant squid .
