Are Humboldt squids endangered?
The Humboldt Squid has not been listed by either the IUCN Red List or the CITES, not because they don't need protection, or they aren't endangered. But due to the "dearth" of …knowledge, research and study concerning their size, reproduction numbers, and their population numbers now. They are heavily fished off the coast of Mexico, and currently seem to be moving northward even as far as Alaska. Some ecologists suspect this may be due in part to over fishing their predatory fish, while other researchers feel it is due to the change in ocean temps. Either way, many people feel the move up the coast through more populated waters has created fear of the Jumbo Squid and it's little understood lifestyle. This fear could cause organizations depending on donations, to with hold their support of the Humboldt "Jumbo" Squid for full protected status. This is apparently a problem faced often due to lack of public education, and the public's image of the animal, earned or otherwise. For more details please see site listed below. (MORE)

Do Humboldt Squid eat people?
Humboldt or jumbo squid are aggressive creatures, example they have displayed cannibalistic activities like eating other squid. Like sharks they have attacked people but human…s aren't apart of their everyday diet. The humboldt squid have the ability to flash different colors and if the animal flashes red it is a sign of aggression. But divers say when encountered with the squid they found that the squid swam by and were mainly curious and swam away once they found that the divers wouldn't harm the squid. But fishermen have been attacked, but this would be in a different environment. Pulling in a 6 foot squid takes skill, so fisher men have been killed but its not some outrageous number of deaths.

What is the history of Humboldt Park?
%FOLLOWUPS% L. Frank Baum wrote "The Wonderful Wizard of Oz" while living in Chicago at 1667 N. Humboldt Boulevard near Humboldt Park. See: and: http://www.kans…asoz.com/infoozpublicity02.htm The Chicago Historical Society has some great books on individual neighborhoods in a paperback version. I'm sure that they would have loads of info on Humboldt Park. Also check with The Chicago Landmark Commission. They also have great books. Here's a good summary, taken from the Chicago Public Library's Web site: Humboldt Park derives its name from a 207-acre park named for Alexander von Humboldt (1769-1859), a German naturalist whose only visit to the United States did not include Chicago. Most of the neighborhood was annexed into the city in 1869, the year the park was laid out, but settlement was slow to develop. The creation of Humboldt and several other west side parks provided beauty, and the fact that this area stood just beyond the city's fire code jurisdiction as set out after the 1871 fire made inexpensively built housing possible. Still, the neighborhood did not fully develop until the Armitage Avenue streetcar line came to it after the turn of the century. The present neighborhood of Humboldt Park is bounded by Armitage (2000 N) on the north, Chicago (800 N) on the south, Western (2400 W) on the east, and Pulaski (4000 W) on the west. By the annexation of Jefferson Township in 1889, all of Humboldt Park came into the city limits. Throughout the 1880s and 1890s, Germans and Scandinavians continued to settle in the area. By 1920, the neighborhood held some 65,00 people, of which twenty-eight percent were foreign-born, chiefly German and Norwegian. In the next decade, an ethnicity shift began, as large numbers of Italians moved in from neighborhoods to the east; other ethnic groups of considerable numbers were Poles and Russian Jews. The 1930 population of 80,000 became Humboldt Park�s highest. Since then, population has been in decline. By 1960, Italians dominated the ethnic mix, and small communities of Blacks and Hispanics were developing. In 1960, Humboldt Park was ninety-nine percent white; in 1980 the population stood roughly at forty percent Hispanic, thirty percent Black, and thirty percent white. A recent statistic cited sixty separate and distinct languages and dialects being spoken by the children of the Humboldt Park schools. The 1970s saw troubled times for Humboldt Park. In 1978, an average of three fires daily were determined to be result of arson. The neighborhood today is economically depressed, with housing median values about sixty percent of the city-wide average. Overcrowding remains a serious problem. Throughout its history, Humboldt Park has remained a neighborhood of persons "passing through," being an area in which to live while accumulating capital in order to move on. Elena, The Chicago Public Library is an excellent source. See: http://www.chipublib.org/cpl.html The Harold Washington Library is a fine place for research.

What are some Humboldt Penguin Adaptations?
The torpedo-shaped bodies of the penguins are designed to help them move efficiently through the water. Their webbed feet help them steer under water and their wings help …the swim. The eyes of Humboldt penguins are designed to get them adapted to the ocean colors. Their eyes are more sensitive to green, violet and blue colors. More to it, their eyes have a second transparent eyelid designed to help them â??googleâ?? underwater. They also have preening glands that produce oil.
