I find it impressive how a small group of segregated industrious people with limited resources can build such a grande future for themselves whereas their terrestrial bountifully resourced neighbours have such difficulty in eking out a day by day living.

May 17th, 2014 - 06:45 pm - Link - Report abuse 0God, you ignoramus, they are Squidilla Falklandese, specially reared to be caught by the FALKLAND ISLANDERS, in fact the FALKLANDERS have trained the nuclear penquins to herd them ashore, no need for fishing gear. Remember you heard it here first.
@9
May 17th, 2014 - 08:03 pm - Link - Report abuse 0”His real name is “Illex argentinus.”
Who prefers being around the Falklands having escaped from Argentina.
This squid is intelligent.
@9 You poor, sad dumb dumb. It's a name, a tag, a label. Nothing else. You don't every one. Not least because they swim. And you have no control over where they swim from or to.
May 18th, 2014 - 08:55 am - Link - Report abuse 0But wait. ”His real name is “Illex argentinus.” So there's only one. Would this be a huge animal a mile across that spits out little copies on a regular basis? Or did you already catch it and kill it years ago?
Illex Argentia.
May 18th, 2014 - 03:55 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Easily recognisable.
Blue and white colouring with a yellow stripe down the back.
Nah not really, just surprised that Conqueror did not think of that one first.
These squid are stolen, and stolen the floor dwelling kelpers. Return the Falkland Islands to Argentina.
