Giant Squid's Harpoon-Like Tentacles Capture Bizarre Encounter
A Humboldt squid was observed using its tentacles like harpoons to catch a fish off the coast of Chile, but it quickly released the prey and swam away. This unusual behavior was captured by the Schmidt Ocean Institute during a research expedition. Marine biologist Greg Rouse suggested the squid rejected the fish due to its tough skin. Humboldt squids, known for their aggressive nature and flashing color displays, are among the largest deep-sea predators in the region.
