Squids have two long tentacles to help grasp food, they squirt ink so they can escape from enemies, they use bio-luminescence to get light and they can change colors.

The squid can shoot out ink from its siphan (water jet) to blind its enemy. This siphan comes of the mantel (body) of the squid and is also used to suck in and expel water for respiration, and propel themselves through the water. Its axons are very large and therefore have become a prime target for neurological studies. Some giant squids may have the ability to become luminescent (glow) through the use of chemicals (like many smaller sized squids). Two unique things about giant squid are that they have very large eyes compared to most other animals. They also have an unusual amount of ammonium ions in their circulation allowing them to maintain a buoyancy close to that of the water so that they do not get crushed from the ocean pressure or sink.

The adaptations of a squid are that its ability to chance color helps it hide and sneak up on its prey oops im thinking of a suid
There are many adadtations of a squid icluding its ability to give out light.Another great adaptation of a squid is that it has 2 tenicles to grasp its food and 2 or 3 to shoot ink out.There are also many more adaptations i may not know but what I do know is that a squid is an amazing animal that will be in the ocean for as long as i will evr know hopefuly im not getting hopes up.

Squid are molluskslike clams and oysters but they have no shells on the outside of their bodies! They have a shell inside their bodies called apen.

There are about 375 species of squid. Squid have 10 arms. Two of their arms are longer than the other eight and are called tentacles. Squid range in size from under an inch to more than 60 feet in length! They have long, tubular bodies and little heads. Squid are very fast swimmers and use a kind of jet propulsion to move.

Squid suck water into a long tube called a siphonand then push it back out. They can aim the water in any direction. Squid have very good eyesight and may even be able to see in color. The squids' two tentacles are specially adapted for feeding and they use them to grab their prey. They have a sharp beak on their mouths that they use to break open shells.

Squid have some unique adaptations. Some can change color, some use bioluminescence to create light, and some shoot ink to cloud the water and lose predators. Squid usually travel in groups and can be found in the sunlit zone and The Twilight Zone.
