Humboldt Squid

The Humboldt squid, like its relatives, the colossal squid and the giant squid, has some razor sharp teeth on its suction cup suckers. This creature can kill humans. I heard one time on a video about Humboldt squids that two people were on a motor boat and the boat got tipped over by some Humboldt squid and they got killed. On the downside is that the Humboldt squid may be having a population explosion, and that is bad for the environment. But as some scientists would say, "If you can't beat them, eat them," because we do eat squid. I like to eat squid nice and deliciously fried.

Here is another thing about Humboldt squid,  They do this little glowing thing. It's pretty dim. The scientist think the squid are better at seeing it. We may think that Humboldt squid may be doing the same sort of thing that octopuses do to camouflage themselves, but in high speed. Also, Humboldt squid are sort of like fireflies with their flashing patterns being used as a way of talking.

These Humboldt squid are bad to the bone. Err... make that cartilage.
