Humboldt Squid
The Humboldt squid is the largest of the squid family. It is commonly found in the Pacific Ocean, usually in the deep waters of the Humboldt current. They are also known as giant squid due to their massive bulk, which can reach up to 50kg. Their aggressive nature and ability to light themselves up in flashes of white and red (with the help of bioluminescence) has led to their other nickname: red devils. Studies suggest that the Humboldt squid tends to get more aggressive if disturbed while eating or if divers get too close with flashing lights.
