It must have been unwell, perhaps that's why it was on the surface? Given the rarity of these finds, especially an entire specimen, I say kudos to the fishermen for their actions and contribution to research.Cazhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17387674413840435759noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8585693.post-68713162776679564732007-02-27T12:58:00.000-05:002007-02-27T12:58:00.000-05:00j.d.: lol.rain: It's size made it so rare a specim...j.d.: lol.<BR/><BR/>rain: It's size made it so rare a specimen that they decided to preserve it for study.cubehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13788126579896276199noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8585693.post-29529634217452809392007-02-27T12:39:00.000-05:002007-02-27T12:39:00.000-05:00Looks like a big butt with tentacles.Looks like a big butt with tentacles.Jay Noelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11571082583740830927noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8585693.post-76683433664611037652007-02-27T00:45:00.000-05:002007-02-27T00:45:00.000-05:00I have a question, why couldn't they release it ba...I have a question, why couldn't they release it back into the wild?
