The elusive giant squid is one of the world's largest animals, reaching a length of up to 60 feet. It is the largest known invertebrate in the world. The giant squid is a mollusk and is member of the cephalopod class, which includes the octopus and other squids. Very little is known about these mysterious animals because none have been seen alive in the wild. Most of what we know about them comes from the bodies of dead squid that have washed ashore or been pulled up in fishermen's nets. These animals are carnivores, and will eat just about anything they can catch.

xpost - by the looks of it, see-thru fish doesn't have much of a brain to store wisdom in. it'd sure be embarrassing if people could judge your intelligence just by peering into your skull. poor fish looks pretty humiliated about it imho.

also since the babirusa contains the words USA in its name - I vote we kill off the bald eagle and make the babirUSA our national animal

Regardless, in those babirusas with spiralling tusks, some authors say that, if the animal lives long enough, the tusks grow fatally into the face
ouch!

y'know, in a way, the United States of America has lived so long that its tusks have begun growing into its face.

Mammals can be weird too! Elephant seals hardly sleep, and when they do, they do it on the seabed:
The new findings, published April 20 in Science, show that while elephant seals may spend 10 hours a day sleeping on the beach during the breeding season, they average just 2 hours of sleep per day when they are at sea on months-long foraging trips. They sleep for about 10 minutes at a time during deep, 30-minute dives, often spiraling downward while fast asleep, and sometimes lying motionless on the seafloor.
