But what I think is really interesting about squid, and cephalopods broadly, is that they diverged from us evolutionarily so, so long ago. They live all over the world in shallow water, deep water, everywhere. There are so many different ways to be a squid, I think that's really exciting. Squids are your life from what I can tell online.
We've got to lighten up a little, but you could if you wanted to be that person. Sally: Because then you won't get invited to the parties. I would encourage you to not be that person You'll be like, "Well, actually an octopus doesn't have any!" Sally: True, but if you're that person at parties that goes around saying, "How many tentacles does an octopus have?" Someone says, "Eight". Honestly, if you call an octopus arm a tentacle, there's nothing wrong with that colloquially. Do they have eight arms or eight tentacles? Sally: Wait, so there's a difference between arms and tentacles? So do octopuses.octopuses have eight appendages. So that's generally speaking what a squid is. Sarah: Arms are muscular and have suction cups all along the limb, and then tentacles are super rubbery and stretchy and are mostly used for grabbing. They have a mantle, they have eight arms and two tentacles. The other cephalopods are octopuses, cuttlefish, squid, of course, and the nautilus.
Sarah: So a squid is a type of marine invertebrate, but effectively they're a type of cephalopod. First things first, what exactly is a squid?
