Yes. Indeed they do. Some grow to the size of golf balls. And in some rare cases they grow to the size if tennis rackets. Although squids are hard to find, they have been vastly studied and many people are perplexed to find the fact that sqids actualy have large noses and live deep in he deps of the atlantic.
octopuses is the plural word octopus that is known so far in the UK and US.
===================================================
Octopuses (or occasionally octopodes). Although it is often supposed that octopi is the 'correct' plural of octopus, and it has been in use for longer than the usual Anglicized plural octopuses, it in fact originates as an error. Octopus is not a simple Latin word of the second declension, but a Latinized form of the Greek word oktopous, and its 'correct' plural would logically be octopodes.
The Kraken is a legendary sea monster.
But the Triassic Kraken is still considered a cryptid, more exactly a gigantic cephalopod hypothesized to be responsible for the deaths of several Shonisaurusin the same site (the largest ichthyosaur species known to science).
These vertebra fossils from the triassic period were found in a strange pattern, and were the base for the hypothesis of the existence of a Triassic Kraken, by Mark McMenamin, PhD., paleontologist and geologist in the Mount Holyoke College.
They live usually live under rocks so they aren't able to be found. They are able to do this because they don't have a back bone.
Yes an octopus does have a beak. Sorry wackys out there that think octopuses don't have beaks but they do. Sorry to disappoint you. They eat with their beaks!
Yes, the only hard part of an octopi's body is the beak, similar to a parrot's beak. Squids also have beaks as mouths.
They don't LOOK that different, but one difference is that the female has an egg sack.
I think yes. Why else would there be so many paintings and drawings of a colossal creature that looks like a squid taking down ships all the way to the depths. I honestly do not think they were lying when they painted them. So YES i think it does OR at one time did exist because it might be dead by now.
I also think yes and i even heared a story about it a couple years ago. it was about a squid with hooks on its tentacles and it was the as long as ten busses. they captured it and took it. they did research on it and it was only a baby one so to this day they don't know how big they get and some think they don't exist at all. But that story i heard got me to trust it was real. But we are not sure if it still does.
A cephalopod with an external, spiral shell; living in tropical seas.
Where or when has the kraken been sighted?
While most people would say deep UNDER the Ocean, the truth is near the Burmuda Triangle. It lives in a cave on and island inside the Bermuda Triangle. Legend has it, it protects that island for a certain reason. It goes to sleep for one hundred years, and wakes up for one hundred years.
What are the difference between cuttlefish and octopus?
I think the difference is that cuttlefish has less legs than an octopus. =) =ㅇ =D!
An octopus also has no shell, while cuttlefish have an internal shell
Who are the relatives of a octopus?
Squids are invertebrates (do not have a backbone) and are in fact molluscs, so they are related to slugs and snails! There are several group s within the phylum Mollusca. The main ones are: * Bivalves (clams, oysters, scallops, mussels) which have a shell made of two halves * Gastropods (sea snails with [abalone, limpet, conch] or without [seahares, sea slugs] shells; land snails and slugs; freshwater snails) * Cephalopods (squid, octopus, nautilus, cuttlefish) The cephalopods are the most advanced molluscs and are the most intelligent invertebrates. They are characterised by the possesion of arms or tentacles. For more information see: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cephalopod http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mollusk http://www.manandmollusc.net/
Squids don't have pens. They squirt ink from a bodily orifice in order to deter predators.
actually, inside the mantle is the pen of the squid, a hard protrusion which is all that remains of the squid's shelled ancestors. (i got this from chacha to do my bio hw)
Nautilus pompilius, commonly known as the Chambered Nautilus, feeds on fishes, crabs and carrion (decaying animals). Its eyes are primitive, so it detects food with its sense of smell.
Yes. In old carribean folk storys there was mention of a 'underwater demon' that was controlled by the legondary ghost of davey Jones. It was said to go about killing sailors at Jones's choosing, leaving none alive. In its spare time it liked to watch the simpsons and brainiac on its free sky channels, or a family film/romantic comedy/musical on sky movies. After a long day of killing strangers it would like to go home to its fairy-tale cottage in the woods to see its 26 animal friends that included: rabbits, field mice, deer, ducks ect. and then settle down on its pink fluffy sofa and watch romantic comedies, musicals or family films. Legand has it that davey Jones was defeated once by one living soul, which freed the kraken from his rule. People say that when Jones was defeated, the kraken lived a long, happy life with his friends in his little fairy-tale cottage.
How long is a cuttlefish's tongue?
My answer, then: pretty small and short.
How fast does a cuttlefish swim?
Cuttlefish can move short distances by pulsating the lateral fins along the sides of their body. Cuttlefish often appear to hover in the water with this method. Cuttlefish, however, can only travel about 4 mph with their fins. Cuttlefish use their ''siphon'' to quickly "shoot" around underwater. Cuttelfish bring water into their ''mantle'' through the siphon, then they quickly expel it outward, creating a quick, forward movement for the cuttlefish. This is one of the methods that Cuttlefish use to escape.
What is the cuttlefishes natural habitat?
inhabit tropical/temperate ocean waters.
They are mostly shallow-water animals although they are known to go to
depths of about 600 metres (2,000 ft)
What do squid do in the oceans?
Squid can be found in places with salt water. California, Hawaii, and the Gulf of Mexico are all locations where squid can be found living.
They do travel in water but they do not 'swim' as such.
Contrary to popular belief, they do not have eight legs, but two. They use these legs are used to pull themselves around on the sea floor and use the others for catching food, or for propulsion on the rare occasion that they do see fit to swim, for example away from a predator.
idk the difference between an octopus and a squid but like a year or so ago they found a 1,000 pound squid that was maybe 50 feet or something if not bigger
Do cuttlefish have green blood and three hearts?
