The diet of squids consists of fish, so they compete with each other, as well as sharks and other predatory fish. Male squids might possibly compete for female mates.
Squid just float around, generally in bussier areas where many fish are, and grab any fish that pass by with their long feeding tentacles. im 11
Nobody really knows.
it is very possible that the Oklahoma octopus is real because some scientists found out that creatures like the octopus can survive out of the ocean and in the lakes of Oklahoma. to my surprise, most scientists believe that this creature is more realistic than any other mythical creature. this creature might be real;
How does cuttlefish's skin light up?
Cuttlefish are photochromic, and are sometimes referred to as the chameleon of the sea because of their remarkable ability to rapidly alter their skin color at will. Their skin flashes a fast-changing pattern as communication to other cuttlefish and to camouflage them from predators. This color-changing function is produced by groups of red, yellow, brown, and black pigmented chromatophores above a layer of reflective iridophores and leucophores, with up to 200 of these specialized pigment cells per square millimeter. The pigmented chromatophores have a sac of pigment and a large membrane that is folded when retracted. There are 6-20 small muscle cells on the sides which can contract to squash the elastic sac into a disc against the skin. Yellow chromatophores (xanthophores) are closest to the surface of the skin, red and orange are below (erythrophores), and brown or black are just above the iridophore layer (melanophores). The iridophores reflect blue and green light. Iridophores are plates of chitin or protein, which can reflect the environment around a cuttlefish. They are responsible for the metallic blues, greens, golds, and silvers often seen on cuttlefish. All of these cells can be used in combinations. For example, orange is produced by red and yellow chromatophores, while purple can be created by a red chromatophore and an iridophore. The cuttlefish can also use an iridophore and a yellow chromatophore to produce a brighter green. As well as being able to influence the color of the light that reflects off their skin, cuttlefish can also affect the light's polarization, which can be used to signal to other marine animals, many of which can also sense polarization.
How does cuttlefish have a baby?
They conceive and then they give birth to little sack eggs which hatch into little mini-cuttlefish
Yes snails can eat a lot of stuff including veggies and milk but most importantly cuddle fish
What adaptations has the octopuses done in order to survive in the deep sea?
Sharp eyes, suckers, and big lungs
the glasss squid doest not hunt it uses phto symthes..
Why can't large invertebrates like octopuses live on land?
it is probably because they would not be able to support themselves on land and wouldn't be able to move around easily
What is the head foot region of a cephalopod?
The “Head-Foot” region contains the mouth and sensory organs as well as the foot, the foot contains organs for locomotion.
What have the scientists learned about the cuttlefish through observation?
Cuttlefish are cephalopods. One of the things that scientists have learned about the cuttlefish through observation is that cuttlefish have the ability to change their appearance so that they blend in with their immediate environment, much like a camouflage.
What are the Cuttlefish colors?
Cuttlefish can change color so easily it puts chameleons to shame. In short, they can take on virtually any color or pattern.
What are the adaptations of Octopuses?
Movement - Octopus moves in two ways. The first is jet propulsion. Water is shot out of the mantle cavity very fast through the siphon. This allows the octopus to get quick bursts of speed to elude predators or catch prey. When not using this from of locomotion, the octopus can glide along the bottom using small undulating movements.
Senses - Octopus has very good eyes. They have fully developed retinas and optic lobes. The eyes are the octopuses main sensory organ. Like most marine creatures the octopus can also feel vibrations in the water, but this sense is not as attuned as other animal's. The octopus also has a very complex brain which allows its to learn and problem solve. Depending on what the octopus senses it reacts accordingly. Most of the time the octopus reacts in fear, as do most animals. In which case the octopus can release a cloud of ink and use its siphon to jet away. The octopus can also used special skin cells to change colors to warn potential predators that it is angry and might attack or to camouflage itself. In some cases, octopuses react with curiosity to new stimuli and will carefully approach an object feeling it out with its arms. The octopus' arms are very sensitive and literally have minds of their own. Each sucker can move independently of the other and has a keen sense of touch.
Environment adaptations - The octopus' environment is hostile and difficult to live in. There are always predators about and to stay alive one must have a safe place to sleep and have defenses and adaptations so it can swim in the open to find food. Octopus vulgaris has no shell or skeleton to speak of. This being the case, it can fit into just about any size hole. The only thing is the hole has to be big enough to fit the octopus' hard beak through. Once the beak is through, the soft body can follow. This is very helpful when finding a place to live. It can get into small places and prefers very small cracks with a large interior space. once inside a small hideout, it is nearly impossible for predators to get them out. Another adaptation is defensive. The ink sac is only used if the octopus feels threatened. If scared the octopus will contract muscles around the ink sac expelling a murky black substance. This allows the octopus to use its jet propulsion to escape behind the inky curtain, leaving the possible predator with no idea where the octopus went.
Cool Colors - The octopus along with cuttlefish, and squid can change colors. They have special cells on the outside of their bodies that are kind of like an umbrella. When the umbrella is closed the animal appears a certain color, but when the cells open up like an umbrella, the different color shows and its looks as though the animal changed color. These cells can be opened and close up to five times a second on octopuses. This is known to be used as camouflage and as a mood indicator, but it is also thought to be used as a way of communication between buddies.

Yes sharks, birds, squid especially.
Natural predators of octopus are moray and conger eels, dolphins and sharks. So they could be natural enemies.

It is a cephalopod that has a spiral shell with pale pearly partitions.
If you mean how do they breed, it depends on the variety.
One type of octopus mates and then the female finds a small cave in which to lay her eggs. After laying her eggs in strings hanging from the ceiling of the cave, she will then proceed to sit in the cave until the eggs have hatched, making sure that oxegenated water is passed over them to ensure that they develop properly. The resulting lack of food will hill her, and her last actions will be to ensure that a new generation of octopi survive. Of course, of the thousands of offspring hatched, many will be eaten or killed before they reach maturity, and only a few will survive to breed.
What are some Kraken eyewitness accounts?
Kraken eyewitness accounts can happen anywhere at any time. Most Kraken encounters happen in the Indian ocean and in scandenavia. When you are in those parts of the world watch out for the Kraken!
Why does a octopus camouflage and from what?
An octopus camoflagues from its enemie.It does that so the enemie wont eat him up.
