    Some updates; from one of the researchers that giant squids taste horrible taste like floor cleaner full of ammmonia... yucks The ammonia is suppose to help them to float ....so you can forget about eating one of these critters

    these giant squids live down below in the dark. their natural predators are the sperm whales which will travel down thousands of metres to hunt them. these monster squids have beaks which gives a good bite......amazing animals!!!

    actually just a random thought.

    i think most of us here do know that not only trawler activities threaten underwater marine life, but the military technology thats been in use for some time.

    some of these SONAR from submarines (which we will never know) are allegedly the cause for the beaching of whales dolphin etc.

    is there any thing we can do? just a thought...
