snoboy Posted July 2, 2003 Posted July 2, 2003 "We'd never before seen such a strange specimen, We don't know if it might be a giant squid that is missing some of its parts or maybe it's a new species," said Elsa Cabrera, a marine biologist and director of the Centre for Cetacean Conservation in Santiago.

Dru Posted July 2, 2003 Posted July 2, 2003 There is an excellent chapter on "Blobs and Globs" in the excellent book Monsters of The Deep by oceanographer and marine biologist Richard Ellis. These unidentified chunks have washed up on the beach on many occasions. His conclusion: a yet unidentified species of giant octopus which may grow up to 100' long. Quote
catbirdseat Posted July 2, 2003 Posted July 2, 2003 This thread is a retread. Dru's been over this ground. Giant Squid are Taking over the World's Oceans Quote
snoboy Posted July 2, 2003 Author Posted July 2, 2003 Did you read the article? Or did you jump the gun? Quote

Giant Squid are Taking over the World's Oceans I for one applaud Dru's raising the warning, but how many giant blobs or giant squid were found next to dead humpback whales as this one apparently was? Sounded newsworthy to me. Quote
Dru Posted July 2, 2003 Posted July 2, 2003 he didnt read the article, he jumped the gun. dead humpbacks are not as noteworthy as dead, white sperm whales with peg legged mariners roped to them by harpoon Gregory Peck style. Quote
thelawgoddess Posted July 2, 2003 Posted July 2, 2003 i just want to add that dried squid is really yummy! Quote
