Best Answer

In order to catch the prey they need to feed themselves, squids use their tentacles, because they have a suction and hook that captures the prey, which usually are small crabs, shrimps and small fishes. While they have a tight grip on the small animal, they use their sharp tongue to extract the contents of the prey's body.
