Much better fight between the Sharks and the Jets, and they dance too.

STOP! There was a sci fi movie about this, and a bad movie it was, in which great sharks battled great squids, moving into the shallows and wiping out harbors here and there. Now DO NOT tell me it was based on real stuff.

Forgot where (as seen on TV) A large sea aquarium had an octopus eating their sharks.

I saw both movies: Leviathan with the Peter Weller and the other oversized monster with the “size is dependent on remote depths” explanation is Deep Rising. Both movies are on Youtube..

Bush’s fault and Global Warming.

As currently understood, sperm whales are the primary predator of giant squid, and are frequently observed with sucker scars from the squid’s tentacles. If this account is true, I would have expected more great whites to have had evident scarring from the same. Also, I know most sharks caught have pretty extensive inventories done of their digestive tracts, and to my knowledge giant squid don’t feature largely in the literature in that regards. I’m not saying GW’s don’t eat giant squid, but I don’t suspect it’s as frequent or epic as this makes it sound.

I dunno....Sperm Whales tend to have scars from their battles with squid. I'd expect some of the same on Great Whites if they were hunting the same prey.

I wonder if they're just picking off the leftovers from the whales.
