Hundreds of Dead Squid Gather on California Beach
Reports have shed light over a fact that in recent past
days, dead squid in hundreds stacked on a California beach. Also, it is not by
accident, rather they have been stranding themselves in anger of suicide and
are being found on the Santa Cruz beaches.
Though, researchers have observed their thoughts of
committing suicide in fury. They have been unable to trace the reason behind
this kind of behavior in squid. They only say that it is weird to see them
taking their own lives.
"It can make people a little uncomfortable. With a
squid that big, it's nothing to scoff at, but there has been no documentation
of them trying to eat a human", Ms. Rosen was quoted by sources.
As per the findings, the dead squid is Humboldt squid, which
has taken its named from the Humboldt Current, as they live there off the South
America coast. It has been told that the squid can be seen in the eastern
Pacific down from 660 to 2,300 feet.
However, these creatures seem moving northward; the
researchers are of the opinion that this is a possible result of warming
oceans.
It is being estimated that the quid might be failing to understand
what is happening around them and thus, might be stranding themselves.
