You will believe a squid can fly (or at least glide).

These squid launch themselves out of the water with jet propulsion and then fly faster than Usain Bolt can run.

Is there really nobody here interested in flying squid?

These critters could be the most awesome exhibit on the planet if somebody could figure out how to exhibit them.

Based on our earlier discussion on flying fish, that seems unlikely though probably.

Have we been able to successfully exhibit any species of squid yet?

Oh yes, I have been meaning to say thanks for sharing. I sent the link to the article to some colleagues. I was about to pop some squid on the grill, but now I feel guilty because they seem so cool.

I think they're cool as well, but didn't have anything further to comment.

But now I do - let's hope Humbolt's Squid doesn't learn how to fly too......
