    This is a great entry. Thank you. As you indicate, we don't know a lot about the colossal squid. I think a photo or two of a dead one has been taken, but not of a live one.

    This is off topic, but if you want to do a post about dogs, this site has a lot of information as to how they developed. Sophie's ancestors go way back! http://www.amnh.org/explore/news-blogs/research-posts/dogs-evolved-with-climate-change?utm_source=social-media&utm_medium=facebook&utm_term=20150818-tue&utm_campaign=research
