Which is smarter an octopus or a owl?
owl, though octopus is probably cleverest animal without a backbone
Not naturally, no. But I have seen a few squids with quite colorful skirts. Mostly when they attend special events. But they try to avoid them otherwise as to not draw attention to predators.
What is the outside squid's body called?
the torpedo shaped body is called a mantle.it has fins on the sides to keep it steady in water
A red giant will be about 10 to a 100 times bigger than our Sun.
However that is just a red giant. A red supergiant will be about 100 to 1,500 times bigger than the Sun, whereas a red hypergiant will be anything greater that 1,500 times that of the Sun - Like VY Canis Majoris.
What are the different kinds of squid?
There are some 298 different kinds of squid that are classified into 28 families. A link is provided to the Wikipedia article on the squid.
Why do people say it smells like squid after sex?
Quite probably because semen has a certain amount of smell to it.
What actions do giant squids do to survive?
Several freshness and spoilage indicators were monitored to characterize the postmortem biochemistry of giant squid (Dosidicus gigas) mantle muscle. Squid samples were obtained directly from the sea and kept at 0 °C during a 15-d storage period. Data at zero time were obtained from cryogenically frozen samples at time of capture. The adenosine 5'-triphosphate (ATP) degradation followed a different pattern as compared with that from fish species. ATP was almost completely depleted at 24-h postcatch from 6.54 to <1 μmol/g, while at the same time Hx was the predominant catabolite with a concentration of 4 μmol/g, reaching 6.85 μmol/g at day 15. K-value data followed a logarithmic pattern with time instead of a linear one, with no change after day 3, thus reducing its suitability as a freshness index. The coefficient Hx/AMP seems to be an adequate alternative for this purpose due to its constant increment with time. The high NH4Cl content in mantle muscle (461.3 ± 24.5 mg of NH4+/100 g) derived from its physiological importance for the species compromises the use of the distillation step of the TVB-N analysis commonly used as a spoilage index. This fact explains why the initially high value of TVB-N detected in mantle muscle (243.7 mg N/100 g) did not correlate with the initial low TMA-N content (1.5 ± 0.1 mg/100 g of muscle). The results suggested that under the experimental conditions the shelf life of squid exceeds 15 d.
How is a llama similar to a jellyfish?
Jellyfish and llamas are both pluricellular, eucaryotic, heterotroph living organisms belonging to Kingdom Animalia, and both can reproduce themselves sexually.
Yes, in fact i have some carrots in my crabitat right now. My hermies seem to love them.
Hermit crabs are scavengers and can eat all fruits, veggies, SEA salted nuts, egg yolk, egg whites, and egg shell (which is also what i have with the carrots), and lean (not fatty) meats.
Stay AWAY from human food like twinkies, pizza, seasonings on meat, salted foods (but SEA salt, they love AND is healthy for them), ect. . .
they really are not hard to find but are very interesting. having eight legs and all, and also being able to be very intelligent enough to solve mazes and puzzles!
TAKE LONG WALKS IN THE PARK, READ A GOOD ROMANCE NOVEL, AND THEY TYPICALLY ENJOY A GOOD JELLO FIGHT.
What organs does the squid use for respiration?
Gas exchange is accomplished by pair of bipectinate, nonciliated gills.
In what water depths does the squid live in?
well several miles down under the the sea where the sun can not penertrait there is a species called the vampire squid that can see where it is because all over its body there are little lights that have evolved on the suid over the years to help it see and this is how the squid catches its prey it can light up at its own will. its lights can shine blue or red and remember it can live right at the bottom of the sea floor which is several miles deep. i found this out from a sea version of david atinburah.hope this helps. by Dakoda
