	Whale - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The baleen whales are characterized by the baleen, a sieve-like structure in the upper jaw made of keratin, which they use to filter plankton from the water.
		Whales are broadly classed as predators, but their food ranges from microscopic plankton to very large fish.
		Whale mothers nurse the young by actively squirting the fatty milk into their mouths, a milk that according to German naturalist Dieffenbach, bears great similarities to cow's milk.

	Giant squid - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		They are deep-ocean dwelling squid that can grow to a tremendous size: recent estimates put the maximum size at 10 m (34 ft) for males and 13 m (44 ft) for females from caudal fin to the tip of the two long tentacles (second only to the Colossal Squid at an estimated 14 m, one of the largest living organisms).
		Despite their great length, giant squid are not particularly heavy when compared to their chief predator, the Sperm Whale, because the majority of their length is taken up by their eight arms and two tentacles.
		In particular, the image of a giant squid locked in battle with a sperm whale is often seen, although it is now known that the squid is the whale's prey and not an equal combatant.

	Killer Whale - MSN Encarta
		All killer whales have a large prominent dorsal fin midback, but that of the adult male continues to grow, until it is a triangular “sail” up to 1.8 m (5.9 ft) tall.
		In most areas, killer whales appear to specialize; in the Pacific Northwest of the United States and Canada, for example, resident populations feed mainly on salmon and other nearshore fishes while more transient populations take especially harbour seals and porpoises.
		However, killer whale groups that have been studied tend to be remarkably stable, with males and females staying in their natal groups (or pods) for life.

	MILSTEIN HALL OF OCEAN LIFE \| American Museum of Natural History
		No one had ever seen a giant squid alive in its natural habitat, the pitch-dark waters up to 1,000 meters (3,300 feet) beneath the ocean's surface, until September 2005, when a live, adult giant squid was caught on camera in the wild for the very first time by Japanese researchers.
		Scientists know that sperm whales prey upon the giant squid, but the squid's diet is unknown—the stomachs of most specimens are empty.
		The giant squid may be the basis for tales of sea monsters since Homer's Odyssey to Jules Verne's 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea, fixed the squid as a monster in readers' minds.

		The strangled whale was found floating in the sea with the squid's tentacles wrapped around the whale's throat.
		Sperm whales eat squid and originally it had been thought that such battles were the result of a sperm whale taking on a squid that was just too large to be an easy meal.
		The device was designed to detach from the whale after a couple hours and float to the surface where it could be picked up and the recording examined by the scientists.

		Of course the likelihood of a whale cleaving a squid right through the centre of the buccal bulb is exceedingly remote...
		If the whale is even more fussy that we have ever considered before, given the distribution of distasteful ammonium ions throughout the body of these things could well be unequal (as it is in Architeuthis), the whale might chomp the head end (more tasty) and ditch the mantle.
		It is possible that the whale simply eats vast quantities of ammoniacal squid because it doesn't care/mind, because it was an otherwise untapped resource, or perhaps because that was what was available at the particular depth horizon within which the whale fed.

	"The Squid and the Whale" - Salon
		Noah Baumbach's "The Squid and the Whale" has so much going for it -- including intelligent performances that mesh beautifully, and a keen understanding of how seemingly small moments can rattle the foundations of families -- that you walk away from it feeling it should add up to more.
		But some of the movie's details may be too meticulously observed: "The Squid and the Whale" often feels a bit too fussed over, laying out its family rivalries and misunderstandings with the kind of clarity that comes from hindsight (or therapy).
		In its best moments "The Squid and the Whale" cuts to the essence of the crap kids have to go through in attempting to understand their parents' problems, even as they're wrestling with not-inconsequential problems of their own.

		These show the squid repeatedly attempting to detach a bait dangling beneath the camera, which was at a depth of 900 metres.
		The giant squid used its tentacles to grab at the bait, then coiled them into a ball, much in the way that pythons rapidly envelop their prey within coils of their body after striking, the two researchers report.
		They knew that sperm whales — the main predator of giant squid — gather to feed in the region, adjacent to a steep, canyoned continental slope approximately 10-15 kilometres southeast of Chichijima Island.

	calendarlive.com: MOVIE REVIEW - 'The Squid and the Whale'
		"Squid's" roots are in youthful autobiography, in a family's divorce and a son's coming of age, usually the elephant's graveyard of independent cinema.
		Clear-eyed and intimate, a deeply felt narrative that flinches from nothing, "Squid" is a model of what independent filmmaking can achieve, even on a hectic 23-day shooting schedule and a $1.5-million budget.
		With a title whose meaning and resonance become clear only at the close, "Squid's" great strength is that it is as perceptive as it is personal.

		The knife in the squid's back implies that a field dissection was to be carried out.
		Since the squid is on the beach, I'm guessing the whale it came from was dressed out on the beach, in the old days before factory ships removed whale processing to international waters.
		There's a symmetrical, translucent protrusion that could be the anterior end of the squid's gladius, the semi-rigid "pen" inside the mantle, and another visible structure could be what remains of a dislodged eye.

		The Squid and the Whale is one of the more poetic and well conceived movies I have seen in a while.

		There’s something sinister in the parallels between Noah Baumbach’s The Squid and the Whale and Wes Anderson’s The Royal Tenenbaums.
		It’s not just the fact Squid is about a family of New York intellectuals scarred by divorce in the mid-‘80s, or that it revolves around an epically self-obsessed father, or even the way that it feels like cheating whenever the film lingers on its retro-soundtrack just a little too long.
		For all the films’ point-to-point symmetry, it’s almost as if Squid were an exercise meant to prove that two films with roughly the same ingredients in the same proportions can still yield two entirely different outcomes.

		I don't know what I'm supposed to feel during "The Squid and the Whale." Sympathy, I suppose, for two bright boys whose parents are getting a messy divorce.
		"The Squid and the Whale" is essentially about how we grow up by absorbing what is useful in our parents and forgiving what is not.
		Joan may cheat on her husband, but he deserves to be cheated on, and she demonstrates a faith in romance that is, after all, a lesson in optimism.

	Review: The Squid and the Whale - Cinematical
		In The Squid and the Whale, the third feature from director Noah Baumbach, Jeff Daniels plays Bernard Berkman, a husband, father and allegedly once-great novelist, on the verge of slippping down his own mountain of bravado.
		The Squid and the Whale is really the story of what the divorce does to Joan and Bernard's two sons, 16-year-old Walt (Roger Dodger's Jesse Eisenberg) and his younger brother Frank (Owen Kline, son of Kevin and Phoebe Cates).
		Squid's most striking image is the repeated motif of Kline (though 13, he looks a good two years younger), shirtless, watching himself swig cheap canned beer in front of a mirror.

	The Squid and the Whale - Pittsburgh Tribune-Review
		So dead-on is "The Squid and the Whale" in its depiction of emotional violence in a family that you sense its resonance is lifted from real life.
		"Squid" is neither a dissection of the marriage nor a pitch for reconciliation.
		The picture never feels vindictive, but it does address one's formative years in a way that says: While parents are sorting out their problems and mistakes, children's lives are happening and morphing into unfamiliar shapes, too.

		Jeff Daniels and Laura Linney star as divorced parents in Noah Baumbach's "The Squid and the Whale."
		Yet while Baumbach notes that some images — particularly recollections of a museum diorama of a death match between a squid and whale — came right from his own life, he says the film is a reinvention, true to the emotions he felt but not necessarily the particulars.
		The tone is perfectly set in the opening scene, a tennis match in which dominate-at-all-costs Bernard Berkman (Daniels) repeatedly batters the ball at wife Joan (Linney), a lesson in poor sportsmanship for their sons, 16-year-old Walt (Eisenberg) and 12-year-old Frank (Kline).

		Walt Berkman, the 16-year-old son of divorcing parents in Noah Baumbach's "The Squid and the Whale," is that kind of kid.
		It's about the wrestling match, much like the fighting whale and squid diorama at the Museum of Natural History, which both terrified and fascinated Baumbach as a child.
		Like Baumbach, Walt seems a little closer to this consciousness by the end of "Squid and the Whale," and a little is really all a 16-year-old kid could hope to be.
