Hi everyone,
There was an interesting article on "The Age" website about cannibalism in Giant Squid-

The article is titled Giant squid partial to a bit of calamari and explains that Australian researchers have discovered evidence that Giant Squid are cannibals.
Scientists at the University of Tasmania team have been testing the stomach contents of a Giant Squid that had been caught by commercial fisherman off Tasmania's west coast in 1999. The scientists found 3 tentacles and 12 squid beak fragments all belonging to a giant squid in the stomach.
