Bizarro Posted April 3, 2003 #2 Share Posted April 3, 2003 "This animal, armed as it is with the hooks and the beak that it has, not only is colossal in size but is going to be a phenomenal predator and something you are not going to want to meet in the water." damn straight, dude.

CASTOR Posted April 3, 2003 #3 Share Posted April 3, 2003 wow, i dont know what to say to that. i wish the discovery channel would just spend a lot more money and get pictures of this thing in the ocean. if they stayed down there for about a year, you would have to see one of them. anyway, great article!
