Here is the blurb from the above IMAX site regarding humboldt squid:

The elusive Humboldt Squid—who also goes by "Jumbo"—is a mysterious and vicious carnivore, and tales of his destructive, rock star-like antics are legendary (even sailors balk at the squid's excesses). While some claim the rep is a bad rap, others maintain that the aggressive predator is just that…thanks to its size (up to six feet long), powerful arms and tentacles, superior underwater vision and a razor-sharp beak that can rip prey (and trusting co-stars) to shreds. Their rapid changes in skin color also make them a challenge to lighting designers. While not on-set, their whereabouts remain primarily a mystery—they prefer depths far beyond the reach of most undersea paparazzi.
