Large
Humboldt squid washed up near Newport Beach, Orange County, California. After
the first big invasion in 2005, Prof. Emeritus John McGowan, Ph.D., Scripps
Institution of Oceanography said: "These things are invading, and we don't know
what's going on. It may be they're following a warm California current.
Oceanographers don't have a clue why a large population of squid like this is
moving north, or why they strand themselves."
