Cryptozoological Note

[melannen]

Tell me that this

which I photographed at the train station this morning, does not look exactly like the greater tree squid. It was even more obvious in real life; I could watch it tossing its limbs around in the wind.

But I thought arboreal cephalopods in the US were restricted to the Pacific Northwest. Are we getting invasives coming north with the longer hurricane seasons and global warming?

Did you know that by total weight of biomass, squid are the Earth's dominant organism? Yep.

The Antartic Krill (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antarctic_krill) isn't a squid.

Hah! Your numbers are nearly ten years old! Global warming has been killing the krill and helping the squid population explode since then! They are secretly manipulating us to create a perfect environment for them!
