    We saw one like this (ghostly white and decaying) at an aquarium in Tampa. I think it’s wrong to display them like this! They are such magnificent creatures and suspending them in a “coffin” in this condition is sad. The one we saw in FL looked like torn up dirty gym socks. Not the way I’d like to be remembered if I were a giant squid!

    • I don’t know if there are many alternatives to the way these specimens are preserved, but I definitely know what you mean. I prefer a good life-size model to a beat-up corpse in a jar any day!
