Like all squid, a giant squid has a mantle (torso), eight arms, and two longer tentacles (the longest known tentacles of any cephalopod). The arms and tentacles account for much of the squid's great length, making it much lighter than its chief predator, the sperm whale. Scientifically documented specimens have masses of hundreds, rather than ...
It is sometimes called the Antarctic cranch squid or giant squid (not to be confused with the giant squid in genus Architeuthis) and is believed to be the largest squid species in terms of mass. [3] It is the only recognized member of the genus Mesonychoteuthis and is known from only a small number of specimens . [ 4 ]
A video shows the long creature with tentacles and large eyes floating through the water and excreting a cloud of greenish-yellow ink. ... The squid was spotted more than 3,600 feet underwater.
A SQUID (superconducting quantum interference device) is a very sensitive magnetometer used to measure extremely weak magnetic fields, based on superconducting loops containing Josephson junctions. SQUIDs are sensitive enough to measure fields as low as 5×10 −18 T with a few days of averaged measurements. [ 1 ]
It has a circular body shape and about 240 tentacles. Its most distinctive feature is its bright red, “cross-shaped” stomach. Photos show the St. George’s cross medusa jellyfish in an aquarium.
Bobtail squid (order Sepiolida) [1] are a group of cephalopods closely related to cuttlefish. Bobtail squid tend to have a rounder mantle than cuttlefish and have no cuttlebone . They have eight suckered arms and two tentacles and are generally quite small (typical male mantle length being between 1 and 8 cm (0.39 and 3.15 in)).
Each polyp has eight tentacles, the study’s lead co-author Yuka Kushida told McClatchy News over email. Overall, the gnome sea pen has 328 tentacles. Several close-up photos show a diagram of ...
