Southern California's shores are being invaded by ink-squirting squid. Hundreds of giant Humboldt squid are being caught off the beaches of Orange County.

Biologists believe the warm waters from El Nino are bringing food for the squid close to the shores. They usually aren't found in the area during this time of year.
