Chris, thank you for that
magnificent portrait of one of my fave cephs! You are truly a talented artist -- no surprise that you were chosen by the aquarium to do that mural.
FYI, if you happen to have a copy of Richard Ellis' THE SEARCH FOR THE GIANT SQUID (1998 Lyons Press hardcover), on pp. 149-153 there is a very interesting segment on
T. danae.
Too, at the following URL there's an "action" version of that very dramatic photo of a live Taningia:

Somehow, I seem to remember another source mentioning that Taningia's ink was also bioluminescent.... but then, I could've dreamed that.... Steve-O?
Always lookin' for more info on them flashers!
[need a T. danae smiley]
