Big man ineffectually strangles ocean ambassador
“One [San Diego] diver described how one of the rust-coloured creatures ripped the buoyancy aid and light from her chest, and grabbed her with its tentacles.
‘I just kicked like crazy,’ diver Shanda Magill [not pictured!] told the Associated Press news agency. ‘The first thing you think of is: “Oh my gosh, I don’t know if I’m going to survive this.” If that squid wanted to hurt me, it would have.‘”
I’ve just got this to say: Baby, I’m a lover, not a fighter.

“In years of high upwellings, when the ocean is just bountiful, it probably wouldn’t do anything,” said Zeke Grader, the executive director of the Pacific Coast Federation of Fishermen’s Associations. “But in bad years it could be a problem to have a new predator competing at the top of the food chain.”
In the meantime, they are just hanging out by the snack tables.

Since I have up to three blags on the intertubes now I decided I should specialize. I will henceforth use this one to document the latest giant squid / exotic squid sightings. Thus, when I read a story or get a link from someone about the latest one, I can put it here, and people will know when I have already been informed! It will be awesome!
