Japan and the awesome Christmas miracle [Pharyngula]

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.
Toyama Bay got a visit from a mythological being, all dressed in red, on Christmas day. It was beautiful.
It seems to be Architeuthis dux, and is about 4 meters long. It just cruised in, ambled about, and the authorities plan to just let it swim away. If it can — giant squid on the surface tend to be sick and unhappy. But still…! I’m waiting for the day one swims up the Pomme de Terre river to bring me presents.
There’s more discussion about this squid (in English!) on TONMO.
