A siphon is found in octopus, squid, and in some snails and clams. The function is movement, feeding, respiration, and reproduction. In bi-valves, the siphons are paired. In cephalopods, there is a single siphon or funnel which is known as a hyponome.

What is the function of camouflage in the wild?
Camouflage is the process of blending into the background. It only works if the predator hunts by looking - animals who hunt by sound or smell are not fooled by camouflage!
