Wow, 4-3 for the eel, but it hasnt won yet.


I saw a thing recently where they were checking the claims that humboldts are super aggressive. it turns out, they are when they are being fished for. On a day to day basis, they are acytually very intelligent and calm, but when people start hooking tham and yanking them out of the water, they go psycho.


They dont actually glow (although quite a few species do), they change from white to red very quickly, which in low light may as well be glowing.

Oddly enough, Giant squid DO have bioluminescence (the same thing that makes fireflies glow)

I did a paper on it in high school.

My tournaments are basically whoever you want to win, so vote how you would like.

It usually depends on which one you like more. i do some "Which is weirder", so it's really up to you.

Sorry if that didnt help.

ok cool, just wanted to get it str8, I thought it was suppose to be which one was cooler then urge started saying how the squid would kick the eels ass so I thought it was a ''who would win''.

I was just a little confused.

Some great material on the Humboldt Squid can be found here--this was written by the researcher who was interviewed for the Disney documentary. It features an amazing photo of the effect I was describing:

In my opinion, the squid would look cooler, and according to Mr. Cassell's observations, would probably get in at least a few licks on that ole eel...

A Tapeworm

A Crab Louse
