"Red Devils"

Flotillas of jumbo squid are invading the length of the eastern Pacific Ocean, and the voracious predators may be upsetting ocean ecosystems and threatening fisheries, scientists warn. Flotillas of jumbo squid are invading the length of the eastern Pacific Ocean, and the voracious predators may be upsetting ocean ecosystems and threatening fisheries, scientists warn.
These squids are nicknamed red devils for their powerful arms and tentacles, razor sharp beaks and insatiable appetites. These squid are spreading like wild fire to all areas of the oceans. They are found off the coast of California, Alaska and Chile. They travel in packs of thousands or more and consume everything in their paths. Researchers are worried that they will greatly effect the marine environment.
