1. Cuttlefish, octopus, octopus, squid, what kind of marine animals are these? It would be best if you could provide photos of each.

Octopus = octopus, eight legs. Cuttlefish has ten legs. Squid = calamari, a type of squid, with a slender body and two tentacles that are longer than the others.

2. Which animal has 6 legs? Which animal has 10 legs?

Insects have 6 main legs (3 pairs of legs, and appendages on the head)

Crabs have 10 main legs (19 pairs of appendages total)

3. Is squid cuttlefish?

Squid is a mollusk, a type of cuttlefish.

Cuttlefish, also known as cuttlefish, squid or cuttlefish

4. Is octopus the same as squid?

No. An octopus has eight legs, and a squid has ten legs.

5. What is the difference between octopus and squid? What about cuttlefish?

Cuttlefish: Sepiidae, ten arms (ten legs), two of which are particularly long, hard internal bones (shells, Chinese medicine called sea cucumber), well developed, (needleless squid)

Squid (also known as Jigu in the local dialect): Ten arms, not as long as cuttlefish, narrower and longer body than squid, head like a javelin, also known as squid. The internal bones have degenerated into a soft and thin piece,

Octopus (called Wangchao in the local dialect): Octopus family, with 8 tentacles on its head, and the internal bones are degenerate. It seems that the smaller the octopus, the more expensive it is.

In short, cuttlefish and squid have ten legs, and octopus has eight legs. The cuttlefish has a well-developed sheath and a hard belly when pressed, while the cuttlefish and octopus have degenerated bones and a soft belly when pressed. This is how they can be distinguished.

6. What is the difference between squid and eyefish?

Cuttlefish is also called squid or cuttlefish. In fact, it is not a fish, but a shellfish, but its shell has degenerated into a white internal skeleton.

There are a pair of well-developed eyes on the head of the squid, and 10 legs around its mouth, 2 of which are particularly long, with many protrusions at the end that can suck objects, called suckers. Some squids have claws on their long legs, which are not only tools for catching food, but also weapons for fighting "enemies". Squids are agile and can swim up to 150 kilometers per hour. Some can even rush out of the sea and glide for dozens of meters, and are known as "living rockets" on the sea.

Cuttlefish mainly eat fish and shrimp. When they encounter enemies, they use two magic weapons to deal with them. The first is to "release smoke bombs" by spraying the ink in the ink sac in their bodies, dyeing the surrounding seawater black to make the "enemy" lose their direction and lose their ability to attack, while they can take the opportunity to escape. The second is the ability to change color. The black squid turns yellow in a moment, and then turns red in the blink of an eye, making the "enemy" unpredictable and having to stop chasing.

Squid is not a fish either. It is a relative of cuttlefish, but its meat is more tender and delicious than that of cuttlefish. Squid and cuttlefish are somewhat similar in appearance, but they are also obviously different. The body of the squid is long and narrow, a bit like the tip of a javelin, so it is also called the calamari. The long legs of the squid are not as long as those of the cuttlefish, and they cannot be fully retracted into the body. When we eat the cuttlefish, we must remove its endoskeleton, while the endoskeleton of the squid has become a leaf-like sheet, which of course can be eaten.

Cuttlefish tastes a little crispier, has more nutrition, and is more expensive.
