An 11.5-foot-long (3.5-meter-long) leftover, this giant squid arm was recovered at the surface from another sperm whale hunt on October 14, 2009, in the same place as feeding frenzy photographed underwater the next day.

It would be fatal to a diver if that squid got a liplock on him with those arms!

That looks nasty, but I am somewhat dyslexic. I thought you had a picture of Barney Frank I was going to have to report to Jim Rob.

From the article:

Sperm whales are voracious hunters of squid, and one animal can consume an estimated 110 million tons a year.

110 million tons would the whale's weight in squid every four seconds 24x7 for a year.
