Red Devils!

Another one for the out-of-place critters (OPC) file: Marine biologists say hordes of voracious man-sized Humboldt squid (aka Diablo Rojo, or Red Devil squid) have taken up permanent residence in California's Monterey Bay, far outside their usual range off the Pacific coast of South America, where the species gets its name from the Humbolt Current. Why the sudden appearance? Stanford researcher Louis Zeidberg tells Paul Rogers of the San Jose Mercury News:

It's an indication that looking at the entire Pacific Ocean, things are out of whack. You've got this sort of weird species spreading out into areas that it has never really taken up residence before. It's an indication the overall health of the ocean is not as good as it should be.
