Both are Coleoidea, which are grouped by their number of tentacles: Squid (Decapodiformes) have 10 while octopus (Octopodiformes) have 8.

The octopus.
Technically, octopus and squid have the same number of arms (8), but squid have two long tentacles with fleshy clubs at the end, making their total appendage count 10. So, squid and octopus have the same amount of arms, but squids have more appendages.
an octopus has only 8 tentacles while squids can have 10
No they are not the same animal. But close cousins!
My best guess is ... 8 (The same as Octopus!)
yes theyre the same but look different
The Scientific name for the general Octopus is Octopus Vulgaris.The Scientific name for the common squid is Loligo opalescens.Both octopus and squid (and cuttlefish) are cephalopods.
They are not the same at all. Squid have for example red blood awhile octopuses have blue blood. They are categorized in a whole different species. Though they do look almost the same they are still not. Squid can be found in deeper depths than octopuses, and they don't have the same behaviors.
Dana Octopus Squid was created in 1931.
Calamari is squid. Octopus would be polipo in Italian.
