Squid

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

Cuttlefish have three hearts <3 like octopi and Squids; nautiluses have...well, IDK. I'll get back 2 you on that 1. just keep checking that Q, don't worry I'll find an answer =O hehehe...

All deep sea animals are carnivores because there`s no plants down there. so the vampire squid is not an omnivore.

Colossal squids have an ink sac, so they have ink. However, not much is known about the ink.

For further information, check out New Zealand's TePapa Museum site about the colossal squid: http://squid.tepapa.govt.nz/anatomy/article/colossal-squid-the-inside-story


Quote from the site: "All squid have a sac of ink inside the mantle. The ink is a dark liquid and is expelled through the funnel. If the squid meets a predator, it shoots out a cloud of ink, which hides the squid so it can escape. No one has ever seen a colossal squid producing ink so we can't be sure what the ink looks like or how the squid uses it. As there is no light down at 1,000 metres in the ocean, dark ink would be useless! It is possible that the colossal squid has luminescent ink."

Squid eat fish. They are carnivores. They catch the fish with one of their long arms and pull it to their mouth. Squid have a hard beak like a parrot's.

gastropods include species like snails and slugs

chephalopods include octopus and squid

Bivalves are organisms like clams, mussles and oysters

No, They have tentacles - like an octopus.

There are many different species of octopus -

the smallest is the Octopus Wolfi, which is found in the Indo-Pacific Ocean. It is 1.5 centimeters in length.

The largest is the Pacific Giant Octopus which can weigh 150 pounds and stretch 30 feet across in only two years

• The squid is known as the ice cream cone of the sea because they are a favorite food of many ocean dwellers.
• All squids are carnivores.
• the colossal squid, mostly known as the giant squid, eat whales when he can "take them down".
• Squid can live in fresh water, and saltwater.
• Squids can range from 24 inches long to more than forty feet long!

They're more shy than aggressive, although they do attack sometimes. I don't think they are as aggressive as squid.

You can kick the top of the head or you can bang your elbow on both side of the tentacle.

I just read an article in National Geographic News that said that a new study, done April 2009, showed that all octopus, cuttlefish, and some squid are venomous. Here's the link: http://news.nationalgeographic.com/news/2009/04/090417-octopus-venom.html

Octopuses or octopodes. The Anglicized (and most common) plural form of octopus is octopuses. 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.

Well, it pays taxes and can be recruited in times of war as an underwater special forces unit. And many people believe that the octopus is good at physics - but this not true, its hard beak prevents it from fully grasping physics, particularly the laws of thermodynamics.

What kind of a question is this - What does an octopus for the environment? i can only hope that this quesiton is part of a 3rd grade exam, and not a person over 12 asked this question.

What does any animal do for the environment? It exists. It eats shellfish and crabs, it reproduces. It is probbaly one of the smartest living creatures on earth - able to change color and texture, and can even survive outside of water for some time. It tends very carefully to its young, a careful parent - and dies upon their birth.

One of the best places to look is online on websites that rate services. Secondly, consult friends, coworkers and neighbors for recommendations. Sometime word-of-mouth is the best way to get reputatable service people.

Yes. There is a located near the eyes of the octopus. Although it doesn't look like the mammalian brain that we know, it serves many the same functions that our brains do. There are also concentrations of ganglia (concentrations of neurons) in their arms - in fact 2/3 of the octopus's neurons are in their arms - so sometimes these often continue to move even after severed from the octopus body.

Interestingly, cephalopods (octopuses, squids, cuttlefish, and nautiluses) all exhibit high intelligence. Octopuses have been known to break out of aquarium tanks, and some studies indicate that they may even have personalities, which would be very unusual for an invertebrate animal.

They have skin

[its octopuses or octopi]

Squid use a kind of jet power. Water is squirted at great pressure out of a nozzle on the squid's body. At times the squid can swim so fast that it may pop out of the water and glide through the air at 25 to 40 miles per hour. A squid may fly for 100 feet or more before it splashes back into the water.

octopus use there mouth to feel and taste things. also, octopus only squirt ink to let his predator know that he is going to fight.

Yes,because even without shell their skin is wide.
yes

No, to the most part. We do not know that much about squid and octopi simply because they live in the darkest depths of the oceans, and apparently we know more about the planet Mars than our own oceans.
