HUGE HUMBOLDT SQUID BEAK
by Kirk McGuire on 03/19/16
This huge beak was mailed to me from a
squid fisherman.
The powerful beak is not the only reason to be wary of the Humboldt squid. It is a fearsome predator also known, for good reason, as the 'Jumbo Squid', or 'Red Devil'. It possesses the large brain, colour-changing skill and excellent vision of other squid and to these, it adds an aggressive temperament, a two-metre long body, 36 sharp hooks in each of its 2,000 suckers, and a penchant for cannibalism.
