Description:
February 2005 article about how "thousands of large squid mysteriously beached themselves on California shores. It was not the first time such a mass 'suicide' has occurred. Observers say it seems to happen every few years," but scientists are not sure "what causes the Humboldt — or jumbo — squid (Dosidicus gigas) to end up on land." Includes a discussion of possible causes. From National Geographic News. |
