Biologists still do not fully understand the mechanics of squid aeronautics, but based on accumulating anecdotal and photographic evidence, they have no doubt that the phenomenon is real and widespread. "Flying is not at all unusual in several families of squid," says Michael Vecchione, a squid expert at the Smithsonian Institution. In particular, the families Ommastrephidae and Onychoteuthidae are known for their loftiness. "It's not uncommon to find squid on the deck of the ship in the morning," Vecchione adds. Many squid remain in the dark depths during the day to avoid predators, Vecchione explains, but when they venture into shallower waters at night to feed they are liable to jump out of the water in a panic and onto a boat.
These morning-after encounters are not infrequent, but catching a squid in the act of flight is still quite a feat. "It just happens so fast," Maciá says. "You really have to be in the right place in the right time."

Get the Humboldt Squid mug.A squid is a beastly beings who blow all of their savings to buy their dream bike to the point they can't afford a proper safety gear to match their dank ass bike. Usually rocking used Japanese sports bikes or even the latest Panigale in some countries. Riding with only a pair of denims and a t-shirt, some higher level squids even ride with flip flops.
These beastly beings, despite the lack of safety gear, are well equipped with the balls of professional stunt rider with a fraction of the skill. The compulsory stunts for them are burnouts and wheelies, and some stoppies occasionally.

Damn, that boi is such a squid. Seen him pulled a wheelie for a solid mile on his new Panigale V4R yesterday, he's still wearing the same old MS88.
