So not only whales and dolphins beach themselves. Must be quite a sight. Why is it happening? No ideea. maybe it's another sign of weird times ahead.

Man.... that would go great on a grill with some teriyaki glaze

 

[TechnoKid]

THat's gotta smell awful.

 

[falias]

Tsunami effects maybe?

 

[Anubis]

im curious, do you think the shock caused by the earthquake killed them and they are finally washing ashore?

 

[IAteYourMother]

That's pretty preposterous, since it was half a world away.

 

[IAteYourMother]

Nah... too far away to kill em.

 

[IAteYourMother]

anyways, tsunamis aren't very strong in the deep water, which allows them to conserve energy across large distances

My buddy just went out to newport last night to fish for these guys. He said the couple he got were huge, like 50 pounds. I heard on the news that the squid were coming closer to shore for food and got a little to close.

They usually hang around the western coast of South America. Pretty amazing that they were washed out at the shore.
Up here in Norcal, I saw a dead cow with all legs up in the air washed up at Ocean Beach in SF.

keep in mind these are Humbolt (sp?) squids, no the true "giant squids" that are much larger and rarely seen...

The article says that type of squid doesn't make for good eating.
