A soft-bodied squid protects itself from predators primarily through camouflage and the ability to change color and texture using specialized skin cells called chromatophores. Additionally, squids can eject a cloud of ink to create a smokescreen, allowing them to escape while their predator is distracted. They also possess rapid swimming abilities, using jet propulsion to quickly flee from threats. Together, these strategies enhance their chances of survival in the ocean.
