The glutton in me got really excited when I read that 'one expert said calamari rings made from it would be like tractor tyres'.

Squids really are the business though, have a look at this short and terrifying clip of a deep-sea eight armed squid circling its prey:

They also know how to have a good time.

And scientists now believe the males had either accidentally inseminated themselves during "violent" lovemaking sessions with females or been inseminated by other males after "bumping" into them in the dark depths of the ocean.

Hopefully they had the decency to take off their socks first.

That, sir, is awesome.

eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeewwwwwwwwwww.

Calamari again?

Too bad they had to kill it... wouldn't they have a better time of observation if it was still alive in a tank somewhere?

Not while it was violently killing everyone in its path.
