Why is the picture of a 1996 giant squid rather than the new find? [Stinking media, they don't think I can tell my cephalopods one from the other, mumble mumble...]

I thought it was strange, too, that the photograph was of the 1996 squid rather than the giant octopus. If there's that 156-pound octopus (or somewhere thereabout), then there must be a larger one, yes? Soon we'll have the story, "The Octopuses that Swallowed New Zealand"...or ""Jazz0's Last Stand."

Ya know ... I thought that looked like a squid, but just chalked it up to my not being familiar with the different species.

Why is the picture of a 1996 giant squid rather than the new find?Yeah, I was wondering the same thing, FB. Pretty disappointing to have them run an old pic of a different creature. It's like doing a story about capturing a Bigfoot and then running a shot of a big gorilla. Well, we may have lost our squidwhere are you? you out there? here at AWAD, but we still have our Jazzy octopus!

USn media's use of the wrong photo
Nemmine that; at least they said in the caption that it was the wrong photo. What I wanna know is is Steve O'Shea a Zilder?

They showed the real deal on the Beeb news. Looked a bit like Helen Clark in a fish suit ... well, it sure were ugly, anyway.
