The giant squid is one of
the most enigmatic animals on the planet. It is extremely rarely seen, except
as the remains of animals that have been washed ashore, and placed in the
formalin or ethanol collections of museums. But now, researchers at the
University of Copenhagen leading an international team, have discovered that no
matter where in the world they are found, the fabled animals are so closely
related at the genetic level that they represent a single, global population,
and thus despite previous statements to the contrary, a single species
worldwide.
