HONOLULU -- Scientists at the University of Hawaii at Manoa will soon have a chance to investigate a creature that appears to be half-squid, half-octopus that was found in waters off the Big Island.
It appears that the creature was sucked up in a deep seawater pipeline at the Natural Energy Laboratory Hawaii Authority at Keahole on the Big Island.
The pipeline pumps cold water up from 3,000 feet below sea level. Occasionally deep-sea marine life will get caught in a filter in the line, officials said.
Workers call the latest find an "octosquid." It has the body of a squid and the tentacles of an octopus.
It is being shipped to University of Hawaii Manoa campus for closer evaluation.

It's the fruit of the forbiddenlove between two creatures.
Either that or it's a mutant.
Not something I want to have on my dinner table anytime soon.... Aaks.
