No, but they are closely related. They both are cephalopods that live in the sea. http://www.diffen.com/difference/Octopus_vs_Squid
Octopus.
octopus :)
The octopus.
Both are Coleoidea, which are grouped by their number of tentacles: Squid (Decapodiformes) have 10 while octopus (Octopodiformes) have 8.
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.
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!
i thing a shark and squid also an octopus
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.
