Giant squid deaths puzzle scientists

[Creative210]

MADRID, Spain, Sept. 16 — Scientists are trying to find out what caused two enormous squids, one of them 40 feet long, to wash up dead on Spain’s northern coast this week. “It’s not a natural death and it’s not the Prestige,” Luis Laria, president of marine protection agency CEPESMA said, referring to a massive oil spill from the Prestige tanker late last year. He declined to speculate on the cause.

The article I read said that the Spanish Navy had been conducting shock wave tests in the area and that was the likely cause of death for the squids, one of which was 12 meters in length.
