What are squids defenses?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

It's main mechanism of defense is intimidation. Using bioluminescent sacs on their bodies, they light up and it scares the predator away. Another method, when intimidation doesn't work, a large oval lights up, facing the anterior end of the predator. As it swims away, it also closes the tissue around the oval, making it appear smaller. This creates the effect that the squid is very quickly escaping, and the predator gives up.

Do octopus attack?

Asked by Wiki User

No. Occasionally humans get bitten by octopuses when they handle them, but unprovoked attacks are almost unheard of. Octopuses are very shy.

There are common stories from divers in the Pacific Northwest who have been "hugged" by Giant Pacific Octopuses. They come to no harm, but you are not going to go anywhere until the octopus decided the hug is over!

What is the cuttlefish habitat?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Cephalopods are found in all the oceans of the world, from warm, tropical waters to freezing, polar waters. They are found in the wave-swept intertidal zone through to the cold, dark abyss. Cuttlefish however, are usually found in temperate and tropical waters. They prefer shallow coastal waters but are also found in open oceans. During Winter, the cuttlefish gather in numbers on the shallow near-shore reefs to mate and spawn. Some species of cuttlefish swim around in schools, like other fish whereas others are more solitary and guard their own territory. The giant cuttlefish is found only in the waters off southern Australia. They inhabit reef and seagrass areas from Point Cloates in Western Australia, along the southern coast and up to New South Wales.Cephalopods are found in all the oceans of the world, from warm, tropical waters to freezing, polar waters.

Does an octopus have legs or tentacles?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Surprisingly, an octopus has neither legs nor tentacles. It has arms, which have suction cups on the underside. Most people think they have tentacles, but common octopuses do not. In fact, tentacles are merely flexible extentions. Squids and cuttlefish have such things as tentacles.
