What are your stances on architeuthis being a predator, or a scavenger.
Any and all input would be interesting, as I am REALLY bored. Heck, I'll gladly read hypothetical hunting/scavenging strategies, as well.

We talk about here here Squidman (I don't believe it is a scavenger, but we do talk about likely feeding behaviour). I'm not saying that it is 'well written', but we do put a good case forward (I think).

I am familiar with the oblique orientation theory, but the chemical evidence was just what I needed.
