Episode notes
There are most likely a shit ton of giant squid because we find a lot of giant squid beaks in sperm whales. The reason there's this myth about them attacking ships is that these animals are full of ammonia, which is a part of dealing with buoyancy. And so when they're starting to feel like crap and start to die, they tend to just sort of like go near the top of the water. Meanwhile, it's just like on its deathbed and feeling like garbage. So it's not going to hurt you.
