The dorsal side of a squid is typically darker and more patterned, aiding in camouflage against predators from above, while the ventral side is lighter, providing counter-shading against the lighter ocean surface. The dorsal side features the squid's fins and is more streamlined, facilitating movement, whereas the ventral side houses the mouth and is involved in feeding. These differences in coloration and structure help the squid navigate its environment and avoid detection by both predators and prey.

Can you own a Squid?
--Because squid are spurt swimmers, it is dangerous to their safety to keep squid. They will often jet into the sides of the tank in which they are kept, and if this happens enough they can severely injure themselves. Very few squid are dangerous, the exceptions being those larger than humans, such as the Humboldt, Giant, and Colossal squids. You could illegally keep a squid, but they are very difficult to care for. Cuttlefish and octopods would be better alternatives.--

Do squid have spots on a squid?
Yes, many squid species have spots or patterns on their bodies, which can vary in color and intensity. These markings can serve various purposes, including camouflage, communication, and signaling to potential mates. The ability to change their skin patterns is due to specialized cells called chromatophores, which allow them to adapt to their surroundings. However, not all squid have prominent spots, as their patterns can differ significantly between species.
