What I find, uh, alarming (?) is that I had no idea these rays were around Puget Sound. I wonder what other dangerous creatures are out there that have escaped me...

Note to self:
1. Don't touch the electric rays.
2. Don't ever let the lion's mane jellyfish tentacles touch you again.
3. Avoid nesting ling cod.
4. Do not stick finger in GPO mouth.
5. If you see a Humboldt squid, sell the scuba gear and take up something safer, like base jumping.

Also common around Palos Verdes and Catalina Island in SoCal.

I have only seen one up here and it was also at Sund Rock on the South Wall about 8 years ago.
Have seen them in the Channel Islands of So Cal and the Sea of Cortez.
I have heard that they are quite abundant in California. I wonder if they are becoming more numerous up north nowadays, like Humboldt Squid.
 
I’ve seen one down here in San Diego. They are here but not common.
