The body of the colossal squid. A colossal squid has three main body parts: the mantle and fin, the head, and a circle of arms and tentacles. The main body of the squid is called the mantle, which fits like a sheath over the internal organs. This colossal squid's mantle is about 2.5 metres long and about 982 millimetres wide, almost the same diameter as a truck tyre â which would make pretty big squid rings! The mantle is made up of muscle and skin.
