In addition to camouflage and appearing larger in the face of a threat, squids use color, patterns, and flashing to communicate with one another in various courtship rituals. Caribbean reef squid can send one message via color patterns to a squid on their right, while they send another message to a squid on their left. [9] [10]
The basic functions of communication in aquatic animals are similar to those of terrestrial animals. In general, communication can be used to facilitate social recognition and aggregation, to locate, attract and evaluate mating partners and to engage in territorial or mating disputes. Different species of aquatic animals can sometimes communicate.
Squids do not have the longitudinal muscles that octopus do. Instead, they have a tunic. [81] This tunic is made of layers of collagen and it surrounds the top and the bottom of the mantle. Because they are made of collagen and not muscle, the tunics are rigid bodies that are much stronger than the muscle counterparts.
The firefly squid inhabits the waters off the coast of Japan. [13] [14] The depth at which these squids can be found varies (300–400 m or 1,000–1,300 ft during the day, and 20–60 m or 70–200 ft during the night) over the course of a day, [14] as they are one of the several species of squid that participates in diel vertical migration.
Bigfin squids are a group of rarely seen cephalopods with a distinctive morphology.They are placed in the genus Magnapinna and family Magnapinnidae. [2] Although the family was described only from larval, paralarval, and juvenile specimens, numerous video observations of much larger squid with similar morphology are assumed to be adult specimens of the same family.

Former Google CEO Eric Schmidt says human-directed AI-controlled drones are the future of war. Schmidt's startup, White Stork, is developing drones for Ukraine to use in its war with Russia.
This ability almost certainly evolved primarily for camouflage, but squid use color, patterns, and flashing to communicate with each other in various courtship rituals. [21] Caribbean reef squid can even discriminate between recipients, sending one message using color patterns to a squid on their right, while they send another message to a ...
