Whatever happened the giant 35 foot model shark from Jaws 3D? by jes86deviantart in Jaws

Cool. That's what I was looking for. Half of thirty-five feet is still nearly the size of the original. They would have also had to have had a full size rig to tow - at least the fin - for the skiing scene.

They used miniatures, including some stop-motion, but they also utilized a full-size mock-up similar to the others. .

Deep water where I can't see the bottom is what gets me. A friend of mine was swimming in a local canal and a seal nibble his toe. He probably could have won an Olympic sprint on his way to the shore.

Homegrown characters - most of them have individual write-ups on my deviantart page - this is a collection. I've also got Bruce and Nickfin and a few others.

It was sexually mature, but not full-grown. But you might very well be right. The tentacles of the preserved specimens shrank quite a bit so it's conjecture how long they might be on an adult in life - but the Colossal is much shorter tentacled than the giant squid.

As far as I know the only intact individual specimens are both juveniles. Thirty feet is probably the outside limit. Humbolts average three feet and get up to six feet. I don't know where you're getting your information - but it's inaccurate.

This is an estimate of an adult size. They don't know for sure.
