Man not adopting Becky

Becky
Architeuthis dux

Ok, here's the deal. This animal is dead. She died yesterday because she couldn't find a loving home. But she is technically still a pet.

Becky used to prefer deep parts of cold oceans but at this point you can just put her in a jar. She used to eat fish, crustaceans, smaller, less expensive squid, and maybe baby sperm whales. It's probably best that she's dead now because where are you going to get a baby sperm whale at 3 in the morning? Her carcass is 45 feet long and weighs 1200 lbs.

She was a loving companion and left behind many children and grandchildren (not available). Those with bad intentions keep in mind that Becky is very high in ammonia and not suitable for eating. Neurological studies, maybe, but we recommend celebrating Becky's memory by using her as a Sid and Marty Kroft reunion costume or ceiling fan.

Keep in formaldehyde or block of ice
