(FILES) In this April 26, 2012 file photo, a clown fish swims at the Aquarium of the Pacific in Long Beach, California. New research released September 17, 2014 shows that as babies clownfish sometimes travel hundreds of kilometres across the open ocean. The study found that six percent of the fish sampled had migrated more than 250 miles (402 km) from one population to the other, which, contrary to the film Finding Nemo, is a process that only occurs during the ocean-going larval stage.

The colossal squid, which weighs 350 kilograms (770 pounds) and is as long as a minibus, is one of the sea’s most elusive species. It had been frozen for eight months until Tuesday, when scientists in New Zealand got a long-anticipated chance to thaw out the animal and inspect it _ once they used a forklift to maneuver it into a tank.(AP Photo/Nick Perry)
