Summary
This week, Ash and Celi talk about giant squids. Ash's found a whole new thing to fear in the ocean as she's now learned that giant squids are even more aggressive than sharks. The Humboldt Squid or "Rojo Diablo" can grow up to 14 ft and 700 lbs, with 24,000 razor sharp teeth, 8 tentacles with a death like suction and grip, and a ferociously powerful beak. They've been known to hunt in packs, devouring local Mexican fishermen. And that's just one of the types of scary squids that the gals cover this week!
