Hiya!
I'm a 12-year-old obsessed with squid, and this summer I found what appeared to be a two headed Loligo palei. Upon dissection (by the head vet at MBL- all the squid specialists there were thrilled) I found that Bob and Sid, the Bicephalic Squid, was in fact a small squid stuck inside the mantle of a big one. But still, an interesting thing was present. The big squid's (Bob's) organs were atrophied and shrivelled- meaning that the smaller squid (Sid) had been living there for a while before the squids were captured.
How interesting is this discovery?[/i]
