bitteroldcoot comments on Sperm Whale Surfacing w/ Giant Squid in its Mouth

There is one in the video already. It's wedged in between the whales teeth. You really have to look for it. It's just in front of the jaw, but you can make out the slightest hint of the yellow skin. The scale is so big it's hard to see.

No problem. It's just one of those oddities of nature that sperm whales love bananas. The whale watching boats throw them overboard to attract them for the tourist.

Also along that line alligators love marshmallows. The tour guide use them to lure the alligators to the air boats for the tourists. Big plus is marshmallows float.

Sometimes nature is just weird.

Edit: found a link about the marshmallows.

You know, here in Australia, the crocodiles don't like marshmallows, so we just chuck a tourist in the water.

I believe that. Crocodiles have a much more fearsome reputation.

And besides most tourists are obese, and probably just bob there like a noisy unhappy meal.
