New Squid Family Named After Poseidon Found in Sperm Whale Stomach
Scientists have proposed a new family of oceanic squids after discovering a single specimen in the stomach of a sperm whale. The squid was collected by Malcolm Clarke from a male sperm whale hunted during 1955–56. Initially, the specimen was identified as Ancistrocheirus lesueurii, but further study led to the classification of a new squid family named after Poseidon.
