Like the octopus, the squid use ink and a camouflage to blind the enemy predator and blend into its surroundings. Some squids (like the Humboldt squid) use hook on their sucker cups to defend it's self.
The mantle of a squid is to cover and protect the squid's body.
Lo
leave them alone
I'm not sure what you are asking here... the body is obviously the squid itself...
yes it does
It defends itself by blinding who ever is hunting it.
By killing its predator with it's tentacles.
They aren't unless the chef spices them to be so. Squid (calamari) in and of itself is very mild flavored.
Squid arms are used for capturing and manipulating prey, as well as for locomotion. They are equipped with suction cups for grasping objects and are essential for the squid's ability to swim, catch food, and defend itself from predators.
ther feet
Its claws and shell
they protect there self by carrying a big shell under its arms so that if it sees its predator then it will squirt ink at the predator the block its self from the predator then make a clean ascape.inkink
