What is a Squid?
A squid is a fast-moving sea animal with a soft body and ten arms, including two long ones used to catch food. It belongs to the same group as octopuses and cuttlefish. Squids live in oceans all around the world, from shallow water to deep sea. They move by squirting water from their bodies like a little underwater jet. Most squids are about 30 to 60 centimeters long, but giant squids can grow longer than a school bus! Their skin is smooth and can change color to help them hide. Squids use their big eyes to see in the dark water and love eating fish, shrimp, and other small sea animals. Instead of talking, they communicate with body patterns and movements.
