    Why squid? Why, squid!

    People are always asking me, “Why squid?” Here’s why.

    The cool thing about biology, though, is that you could pick any taxon and make a video about how awesome its members are. Squid just have the advantage of the exotic, living in environments unfamiliar to humans, and so they leap out at us as particularly weird and alien.
