Looks like one of Ray Harryhausen's bronzes from IT CAME FROM BENEATH THE SEA

Reading the linked article here got me thinking about a 1971 issue of Natural History magazine I found in
my high school library. In it was the scientific account of a gargantuan carcass which beached on the shores of
St Augustine FLA back in 1897. Since reading it, I'm not so hasty to dismiss sea monster sightings as hoaxes
anymore. You might not be either after seeing photographs of this thing. Just do an image search on
"Octopus giganteus Verrill". You may never set foot in the ocean again!

I've always been fond of the idea that octopus DNA originated in outer space. Cephalopods in general are really smart. I love the story of an octopus sneaking out of his cage at night at the Seattle Aquarium. He'd travel next door and eat the crabs in the next cage before returning home! Having been fortunate enough to encounter them while diving over the years I can attest to their shyness and inquisitive nature.
I know giant squid live too deep to dive with, but I doubt they'd be anymore aggressive towards humans then any other aquatic species. For something really scary, consider the number of deaths caused by bee sting injections every year!

The term "Globster" is used to describe any hard to identify carcasses that end up on beaches rather often.
