The normally nocturnal Humboldt squid are very visable in the shores of La Jolla, Calif. today. Some citizens and scientists have reportedly attributed the wash up to a an 4.0 magnitude earthquake that drove the squid up from the deapths of the sea. Others say that the squid, also known as the Jumbo flying squid, have been washing up on shore all week and all summer, not just today. Indeed, these master predators have been moving northward, and voraciusly consuming sea life as they go.
