Anne Cooper claims that Big Bob gets violent when he isn’t fed on time and his thrashing about is so violent that he is capable of scaring her two cats away from his tank. Also, Big Bob is known to hate the color red.

Giant Invertebrates
Once thought to be a myth, the first live giant squid was photographed by Japanese researchers in 2002, then first captured in the wild on film in 2004. The giant squid is the second largest living invertebrate, with the largest being the Colossal squid which is still being researched as it is an extremely rare specimen. The maximum length for a giant squid is believed to be 43 feet for females and 33 feet for males from top to bottom with a maximum weight of 606 pounds for a female giant squid and about half of that for males. Giant squid feed on deep sea fish and other squid and the only known predator for an adult giant squid is the Sperm whale.
