Euprymna scolope, the Hawaiian bobtail squid! This tiny squish has several superpowers including making sand suits and fishing for bioluminescent bacteria as babies that they stash in their light organs for use in hiding their silhouette at night.

This is a cockatoo squid! It’s a type of cranchiid squid.

You might think “Oh nice! It’s see-through! Must be a reasonable size!”

Lol, nope!

This one may have been a reasonable size, but they can get uhh. Ginormous?
Up to 4 meters 🫣

Happy #Squidtember!

Ommastrephes bartramii, the neon flying squid! Majestically soaring high—well, few inches anyway—above the waves! Zoom! They can also be very colorful, sometimes bright blue and pink with a shiny side stripe! 🌈

Planctoteuthis danae! This little squid is a deep sea dweller, transparent, and has the fanciest of pants!

Happy #Squidtember! Starting off the month with a good spiky squish, the Vampire Squid, Vampyroteuthis infernalis! Because they have those two head noodles (retractile filaments) they're technically neither squid nor octopus (nor vampire), but their own cephalopod order!

Many animals "fly" (well, glide).

Squirrels! Snakes! Fish! & Squid!

Not ALL squid can fly but Flying Squids (there are a couple species) use their fins & some web their legs together to make "wings" to catch air
