European Common Cuttlefish (Sepia officinalis) Bone

A dumpling squid (Euprymna tasmanica)

Also known as the southern bobtail squid, this #cephalopod inhabits shallow waters off the coast of southern Australia. It’s an ambush predator and uses mucus glands in its skin to coat itself in sand, where it then lies in wait for prey, like shrimp and small fish. Dumplings must learn to hunt fast: Because males of this species die shortly after mating and females die soon after laying eggs, newborn squid need to fend for themselves.

What’s the world’s smallest cephalopod? That would be the southern pygmy Idiosepius. Growing only ~0.9 in (2.5 cm) long, it can be found in the waters of the Southwestern Pacific. It inhabits sea grass, emerging by night to feed on prey including small crustaceans.

Day 13 #ArtAdventCalendar: The vampire squid (Vampyroteuthis infernalis), literally the ‘vampire squid from hell’ is a small deep sea cephalopod found throughout temperate and tropical oceans with two long retractile filaments, located between the first two pairs of arms on its dorsal side, unlike either octopuses or squids. 1/2
