[20] [21] [22] Among cephalopod recipes, both octopus and squid are used in dishes such as the popular fried calamari, [23] and in sushi and sashimi. [24] Among bivalve recipes, clams are made into soups called chowders , [ 25 ] or served as a sauce with pasta in dishes such as spaghetti alle vongole , [ 26 ] while mussels are widely eaten as ...
Anti-predator adaptation in action: the kitefin shark (a–c) and the Atlantic wreckfish (d–f) attempt to prey on hagfishes. First, the predators approach their potential prey. Predators bite or try to swallow the hagfishes, but the hagfishes have already projected jets of slime (arrows) into the predators' mouths.
Video of Octopus cyanea moving and changing its colour, shape, and texture Octopuses use camouflage when hunting and to avoid predators. To do this, they use specialised skin cells that change the appearance of the skin by adjusting its colour, opacity, or reflectivity.
[10] The bivalve's two siphons are situated at the posterior edge of the mantle cavity. [11] There is an inhalant or incurrent siphon, and an exhalant or excurrent siphon. [12] The water is circulated by the action of the gills. Usually water enters the mantle cavity through the inhalant siphon, moves over the gills, and leaves through the ...
Arion ater varies from 10–15 cm (3.9–5.9 in), reaching maturity at about 2.5 cm (0.98 in) and moves at a speed of up to 4.5 cm/min (1.8 in/min) [5] The black slug is generally deep black, with some adults being brown or even white. Generally, pigmentation darkens directly with increasing latitude.
While animals performing distraction displays are rarely documented as being killed, risks to the displaying animal do exist.

The displaying animal was killed by the second predator. [33]

Sacoglossans can also use antiherbivory compounds produced by their algal foodstuffs to deter their own would-be predators, in a process termed kleptochemistry. [10] This may be achieved by converting algal metabolites to toxins, [ 15 ] or by using algal pigments for camouflage in a process termed nutritional homochromy.
