Hey kids,
Check this out. Scientists at the University of Hawaii will soon have a chance to investigate a creature that appears to be half squid, half octopus that was found in waters off the Big Island.
It appears that the creature was sucked up in a deep seawater pipeline. The pipeline pumps cold water up from 3,000 feet below sea level. Occasionally deep-sea marine life will get caught in a filter in the line, officials said.
Workers call the latest find an "octosquid." It has the body of a squid and the tentacles of an octopus.

It is being shipped to University of Hawaii Manoa campus for closer evaluation.
