Monster Glowing Squid


http://kids.nationalgeographic.com/kids/stories/spacescience/monstersquid/


Japanese scientists discovered a monster glowing squid. The squid’s real name is Architeuthis. The squid weighs about 135 pounds (61 kilograms) and measured 7.6 feet long (2.3 meters). The last time they saw the architeuthis was in Maine 1993. Afterwards, they began to get extincted until a sperm whale was caught chasing after the squid. They say that its glowing arms can blind and stun the prey.

Reflection:

I think this was a very important article because the squid was found long time ago but they found it back! It is also a very special creature because it can glow in the water at night. What really surprised me was that the sperm whales can track the squids because they love to eat squids. So the japanese scientists use the sperm whales to track any squids.
