Digging for a link to the Ekstroem glacier audio in the previous post serendipidously landed me on the ABC.au home page where i found breaking news that a giant squid, measuring about six meters long, had just washed up on the west coast of Tasmania.

It was only months ago that I stumbled upon a documentary about researchers eagerly tracking down mere footage of one in the depths of the North Pacific —cheering when they’d captured video of a blurred tentacle swiping at their surveilled bait.

And I thought the synchronicity of arriving at work the next day to find posts about this squid being found was weird…

Oh, and serendipidously really should be a word.

    sure thing neo —thanks for posting! i’ve had a love for these incredible creatures since a severely scaled down version attached itself to my arm at a rope swing lagoon long ago in the florida keys.
