Giant squid gets makeover at Paris Museum As the Paris Natural History Museum gets ready to open a major exhibit on the world's oceans, some of its most spectacular specimens are getting a makeover. Among them, a giant squid, whose initial preservation turned it white with resin, is getting its "real squid" look back. As for the prehistoric giant coelacanth, it will be making its first appearance after spending 50 years in a formalin bath in the museum's archives. IMAGES AND SOUNDBITES
