Squid Facts
Squids are marine cephalopods, a class that includes octopus and cuttlefish
among others.
Squids have eight arms and two
tentacles, a mantle which is the main body mass and a distinctive head.
Squids have a skin covered of
chromatophores, special cells which enable squids to change colors to camouflage.
Although most squid are no longer
than 60 cm, the Giant Squid can reach up to 13 meters or 43 feet in length. However, it is not the
largest squid; recently the Colossal Squid was discovered. This species reach up to 14 meters of 46
feet in length, making it the largest invertebrate.
