Over the last five years, large, predatory Humboldt squid have moved north from equatorial waters and invaded the sea off Central California, where they may be decimating populations of Pacific hake, an important commercial fish. More on the study here at DSN.
Can squids be any cuter? You gotta love their big ol’cyclopic eye ball.
