Just Offscreen posted:That's what I thought too- I assumed baleen whales lacked the ability to dive down deep enough to tangle with a giant squid. Stands to reason that if they dive down for smaller squid shoals then they would bump into the larger ones I suppose, but I'm having trouble visualizing how it could eat one. A giant squid? They generally don't, but that looks like a Fin Whale so it has the size to drag one with it when it goes back to the surface. The squid will either let go or die from the pressure change.

Their internal tissue pressure is normalized to the greater pressure of being in the deep ocean. If it surfaces too quickly, their tissues will expand due to their increased pressure in the lower pressure shallows as well as some gasses coming out of solution and forming bubbles. They can come to the surface but it needs to be slowly to equilibrate their internal pressure with the external. Same in reverse for going back to depth.

There's room for some sweet symbiosis here if we can train them to get the olives out of the bottom of the jar.

I don't know much about ocean life's biological structures and tissues but I would be 100% unsurprised to learn that squid et al have some physiological way of speeding up equilibration. Unlike us 1 atm surface dwellers "oh no my blood doesn't work cause I climbed a mountain and dropped half an atmosphere of pressure!"

Unlike us 1 atm surface dwellers "oh no my blood doesn't work cause I climbed a mountain and dropped half an atmosphere of pressure!" Whales and other deep diving cetaceans just deal with it through a protective layer of blubber that slows the rate of dissipation to a manageable level. I think in most cases animals who aren't traversing the depths with any regularity aren't likely to have adaptive traits therein.

Yeah, it's why so little is known about colossal squid. Scientists have only been able to observe corpses that are either badly decayed after washing ashore or, very rarely, caught in a fishing net and have been grossly warped due to rapid pressure change. Colossal squid also leave pretty recognizable since they have hooks and barbs inside the suckers as well as the rim. Judging from the scars on the whale it's only tussled with giant squid which cap out at just over 1/3 of it's size.
