A Humboldt Squid expels a cloud of ink at night in Mexico’s Sea of Cortez. These animals can grow to lengths of 13 feet and have a beak like a parrot that can remove quarter-sized chunks of flesh. Their arms and tentacles are lined with as many as 24,000 tiny ‘teeth’ which they use to attack and hold their prey. Historically found in southern waters, climate change and warming sea temperatures has resulted in this species moving further northward with Humboldt Squid now being seen even in Alaska.
Diving with them in open water, at night was a little unnerving. They just materialize in the darkness, glowing and pulsing with light. With their ‘jet-propulsion’ they move unlike other predators such as sharks and approached me on all axes moving in from all directions.
