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."

I thought that looked like a squid, but just chalked it up to my not being familiar with the different species. k Copy Link to Clipboard Share Post on Facebook Share Post on Twitter Re: Cephalopods #62803 03/28/02 06:52 PM Joined: Mar 2001 Posts: 4,189 Rio Grande, Cape May County, N...

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!
