Wiki Quotes
"
At a maximum 30 cm (1 ft) in total length, the Vampire Squid is no threat to humans. Its 15 cm (6 inch) gelatinous body varies in color between velvety jet-black and pale reddish, depending on location and lighting conditions. A webbing of skin connects its eight arms, each lined with rows of fleshy spines or cirri; the inside of this "cloak" is black. Only the distal half (farthest from the body) of the arms have suckers. Its limpid, globular eyes-which appear red or blue, also depending on lighting-are proportionately the largest in the animal kingdom at 2.5 cm (1 inch) in diameter.

What is the brachial ganglia of the squid?
Like humans, cephalopods like squid have highly developed nervous systems. However, they are organised very differently to those of vertebrates, being far less centralised. In squid and octopuses, a large proportion of their neural mass is located in their arms, rather than what would be traditionally considered their brain. The Brachial ganglia are simply the large neural masses that are found in the arms of the squid, giving each tentacle a large degree of independence, and operating alongside the brain.
