I doubt this is from that. Why hasn't more been found. I know they found another giant whale not too long ago, but if it were Fukushima, then we would see all kinds of gargantuan sea life coming to shore. The real shame is that it's dead. The cause may have been from Fukushima. Now that I believe.

This is a hoax. I read the article and it's a hoax. Now, did I believe this picture at first, yes I did think it "may" be possible. But not due to Fukushima. We would see huge seals crawling all over the beaches by now. LOL! And giants in Japan. LOL!

Not at first. But I did explain my stupid mistake after. I never thought it was caused by Fukushima. And since we've hardly explored the seas, it may be possible for a creature like this to live without us knowing it.

An elderly squid was laying on the seabed nearing the end of his life when a shark, looking for dinner, swam over to him. "Please don't eat me", said the squid, "I've been sick for weeks now, and haven't got long to go". So the shark said, "Ok, as you're so sick, climb onto my back and I'll take you for a little ride". So the squid climbed on and the shark swam across the seabed until they came to some rocks where another shark was lurking. "Hello", said the second shark, "What brings you over here?". "Hello mate", said the first shark. "Here's that sick squid I owe you"

from the 1970's which usually gets totally lost on anyone who doesn't know that a quid is slang for a £.

ETA: Southeast Asian restaurants, especially Vietnamese and Thai, are known for great salt-and-pepper squid. Yum!

I don't know if it showed in the final movie or not. It's been years since I saw it.
