Wow how can you fit a 24-foot giant female squid into a container than putting the same conainer on a plane and fly it back to the states thats pretty crazy.Haha i guess project calamari was a success in more than one way.
ReplyDeleteOne squid is the size of a school bus? Thats a pretty big squid to be shipping on the plane; isnt there a weight limit on a plane? Thats quite dangerous to be doing but we do have some brave people. As i read this article, that makes me not want to get in a plane ever!
ReplyDeletePutting a squid as big as a school bus that is 24 feet in a air plane and flying ti somewhere is crazy. The project was deffinately a success. Reading this article would make me scared to ride on a air plane but then again I have done it before so why be scared now!
ReplyDeleteHow is that even possible? That amazes me! 24 feet is so long especially for a squid! I'm surprised that the plane was able to carry it. Reading this article was greatly informative about giant squid. It would be really cool to experience this in person!
