A Humboldt squid, Dosidicus gigas. These things give me nightmares about crashlanding at sea. These things are like locusts. fast. cannibalistic. Impossibly strong. They move in shoals of up to 1,200 individuals. They swim at speeds of up to 24 kilometres per hour (15 mph/13 kn). They undergo vertical migration, coming close to the surface at night. They hunt cooperatively. they weigh up to 100 pounds. their tentacles are covered in these This is what one looks like when its pissed off: I want to re-iterate this : these things weigh 100lbs. This is one annoyed squid.Where are its one thousand, one hundred and ninety-nine friends?Behind you. BECAUSE THEY HUNT CO-OPERATIVELY IN PACKS -- source link
