Cephalopods

No. The Kraken (also known as Ceto) was the sea monster sent by the god Poseidon to swallow Princess Andromeda as a sacrifice. So it was owned by Poseidon.

Soft body no bones, but a hard beak.

Squids and octopuses propel themselves by expelling water. They do this by keeping water in a cavity and then suddenly contracting the cavity to force out the water through an opening.

The name octopus came from the Greek okto (eight) and pous (foot).

Visual Differences:

- Octopi usually have circle shaped heads, while squid have torpedo/diamond shaped ones with fins on the side.

- Squid have much larger eyes.

- Squid have an extra pair of long tentacles.

- Some octopi have webbing between their arms.

- Octopi sometimes LOOK like bumpy while squids sometimes look 'slimy'.

Behavior Differences:

- Octopi use color-changing as camouflage more than squid do.

- Squid swim in the water while octopi usually crawl on the ocean floor.

- Octopi hunt alone, some squid come as schools.

- Octopi can change the texture of their skin for camouflage and emotions.

they are only a couple of inches long

Chromatophores being the general term, a squid uses cells called melanophores and erythrophores mainly to communicate with each other. An example of this is the Humbolt Squid which uses flashes of red and white to communicate.

You can not. It's a legendary creature out of Norse saga and sailor lore. Mentions of it in text date back to the 1700s.

The first mention of the Kraken is in Greek mythology, the Legend of Perseus and Andromeda, which puts it all the way back into the bronze age.

It depends on the species of squid. Squid are carnivores, and can eat anything from small fish up to large marine mammals if they can (giant squid). They also have a variety of predators, from birds to fish to sharks and even sperm whales eat giant squid

Cephalopods are a phylum of mollusks that include squids, octopi, the chambered nautilus, and cuttlefish. All cephalopods have tentacles, most are carnivores, and they are all mollusks. All mollusks have a radula, or toothy tongue, a mantle, or thin layer of tissue that covers the organs and makes the shell, and a muscular foot.

The cuttlefish do have a beak. They have a parrot-like beak when they feedon bivalves, snails, and worms.

An octopus' mouth is centered on the underside of the body in the middle of the tentacles. Fun fact: an octopus has a beak.

Tree octopuses do not exist. All octopuses are marine (live in the ocean).

Inside the squid is a "bone", that is clear and has a plastic feel. It's shape is similar to a quill, and so, if someone says a squid quill, this is most likely what they are referring to.

An octopi's gestation period is about 7 months. You can get a more exact answer if there is a certain species of octopus you are looking for.

A snail is a gastropod.

Gastro is latin for stomach.

Pod is latin for foot.

Meaning...stomach-foot. Which is accurate since a snail slides around on their stomach, also making that their foot.

yeshhh or nooo go find out by getting inkk by a starfishh (LOL) IDK

--------

actually several species deficate a type of dark matter that can render an predator blind. The Asian blue starfish can deficate up to twice its own body weight in dark mattter when required to do so.

Fish have to have scales and fins. Squid is most definitely NOT kosher.

You bet! It is a common cuisine in Mediterranean dishes and is called calamari. It is often deep fried. Octopus salad is an oriental delicacy. It is also served as sushi.

Actually, calamari is squid, but octopus is still enjoyed in many parts of the world.

Octopuses have a relatively short life expectancy, and some species live for as little as six months. Larger species, such as the North Pacific Giant Octopus, may live for up to five years under suitable circumstances. However, reproduction is a cause of death: males can only live for a few months after mating, and females die shortly after their eggs hatch. They neglect to eat during the (roughly) one month period spent taking care of their unhatched eggs, but they don't die of starvation. Endocrine secretions from the two optic glands are the cause of genetically programmed death (and if these glands are surgically removed, the octopus may live many months beyond reproduction, until she finally starves).

Short Answer. Yes. Read recent articles about newly discovered octopus in newfoundland at National Geographic, See Related Links.

yes, they are surrounded by cartilage, and makes them endoskeleton

No. A squid is an invertebrae, meaning it does not have a backbone. However, squid do have a similar structure called a "pen", that serve the same purpose. This cannot be called a backbone because it is made out of cartilage.

squid have ink sacs that irritate the predators' eyes so that they can swim away
