### 10 boats are dangerous to squids > There are no recorded instances of a squid taking down a boat or ship. There are loads of stories where they seem to try, of course. Scientists are skeptical that squids are attacking ships when they attach themselves to the hull, however, because their diets consist mostly (if not exclusively) of fish. > > It makes little sense that they would try to fell prey several times larger than themselves. When squids do attach to the hull of a ship, they often wind up sliding into the propellers of the ship and dying. > Boats are more a hazard to squid than squid is to boats. - [View Highlight](https://godownsize.com/do-animals-attack-boats?__readwiseLocation=0%2F183%2F4%2F1%2F1%2F1%2F1%2F1%2F6%2F1%3A0%2C0%2F187%2F4%2F1%2F1%2F1%2F1%2F1%2F6%2F1%3A56#:~:text=There%20are%20no%20recorded%20instances%2Cthan%20squid%20is%20to%20boats.) - [[Can Animals Attack Boats by Morten Storgaard#10 boats are dangerous to squids|View in Vault]]
