[Error: unknown template qotd]I don't know, but I'd put my money on the megalodon. Large mouth and many rows of sharp pointy teeth? Oh yeah!

There are species of squid with very, very sharp 'teeth' on their tentacles. But I'm really not sure squids get as big as a school bus. The biggest ever caught in 2007 wasn't that big. If I remember right. They had a whole big thing about on Discovery. Or Animal Planet. One of those.

That's the right squid. The special documented its study and as it turned out it was smaller than originally thought. Very sad. But there was some confusion just because they were so sure of the size - something about taking it out of the water might have made it shrink.

Ah, but the truly monstrous ones probably just haven't been caught or found yet.
