The Squid and the Whale: Evidence for an Epic Encounter

Painting of a squid. Caption: What's happening--the whale's trying to eat the squid.

One of the most famous dioramas at the American Museum of Natural History depicts a battle between two gigantic animals: the sperm whale and giant squid. But unlike most dioramas in the museum’s halls, this scene has never been witnessed. Paleontologists Neil Landman and John Flynn explain how scientists know that these two creatures do encounter one another.
