We’ve all wanted to design and name our own squid; now we can, thanks to Te Papa. Mine is named Tom! (After Tom Sawyer, not Tom Cruise.) He just passed the research ship, Tongaroa.

Update: He just had a fight with a diver! Oh, Tom.

Update: He passed a vampire squid – no fighting this time though. (Tom would’ve won.)

Update: Tom’s now 22-days-old, and just passes a leaking submersible. Will he help it? Like heck!
