Marine monsters have captivated the popular imagination for millennia, from ancient myths to modern legends – but none more so than the giant squid, one of the largest invertebrates on the planet, also known as the kraken, the polyp, and the sea serpent.

In this fantastic installment in their Shelf Life series, scientists from the American Museum of Natural History chronicle the voyage of an actual giant squid from New Zealand to the museum’s collection – including comical mishaps along the way, such as having to list the sea monster as “frozen seafood: sushi” on the customs form in order to comply with the limitations of bureaucracy. 

For more, see Richard Ellis’s fascinating The Search for the Giant Squid.

Late night diggaz.

The Journey

One day you finally knew

what you had to do, and began,

though the voices around you

kept shouting

their bad advice--

though the whole house

began to tremble

and you felt the old tug

at your ankles.

"Mend my life!"

each voice cried.

But you didn't stop.

You knew what you had to do,

though the wind pried

with its stiff fingers

at the very foundations,

though their melancholy

was terrible.

It was already late

enough, and a wild night,

and the road full of fallen

branches and stones.

But little by little,

as you left their voices behind,

the stars began to burn

through the sheets of clouds,

and there was a new voice

which you slowly

recognized as your own,

that kept you company

as you strode deeper and deeper

into the world,

determined to do

the only thing you could do--

determined to save

the only life you could save.

- Mary Oliver
