lined with 20 to 26 needle-sharp teeth. This allows the Humboldt to 
attack its prey with more than 24,000 teeth at once. And nestled in 
its bed of eight muscular arms and two feeding tentacles is a 
disproportionately large, knife-edged beak similar to a parrot’s. 
But the Humboldt is much larger than a parrot: they have been found 
as large as 14 feet in length and weighing more than 700 pounds.</blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://diver.net/seahunt/fend/f_scottc.htm"><P>
In addition to the Humboldt’s enormity and impressive array of 
weapons, this magnificent mollusk possesses a legendary ferocity. 
The local Mexican fishermen call it Rojo Diablo, or Red Demon. When 
I arrived in Mexico for the dive, several fishermen told tales of 
how people had experienced violent deaths after falling in the water 
with these red demons: “…they would be pulled down and devoured in 
moments.”
