Squid are marine An ocean (from Greek Ωκεανός, Okeanos ) is a large body of saline water, and a principal component of the hydrosphere. Approximately 75% of the Earth's surface (an area of some 361,000,000 square kilometres (139,000,000 sq mi)) is covered by ocean, a continuous body of water that is customarily divided into several principal oceans and cephalopods A cephalopod (Greek plural Κεφαλόποδα ; "head-feet") is any member of the mollusc class Cephalopoda, characterized by bilateral body symmetry, a prominent head, and a modification of the mollusk foot, a muscular hydrostat, into the form of arms or tentacles. Teuthology, a branch of malacology, is the study of cephalopods of the order The Latin suffix -formes meaning "having the form of" is used for the scientific name of orders of birds and fishes, but not for those of mammals and invertebrates Teuthida, which comprises around 300 species. Like all other cephalopods, squid have a distinct head, bilateral symmetry Symmetry in biology is the balanced distribution of duplicate body parts or shapes. The body plans of most multicellular organisms exhibit some form of symmetry, either radial symmetry or bilateral symmetry or "spherical symmetry". A small minority exhibit no symmetry, a mantle The mantle is a significant part of the anatomy of molluscs: it is the dorsal body wall which covers the visceral mass, and arms. Squid, like cuttlefish Cuttlefish are marine animals of the order Sepiida belonging to the Cephalopoda class . Despite their common name, cuttlefish are not fish but mollusks. Recent studies indicate that cuttlefish are among the most intelligent invertebrates, have eight arms and two longer tentacles Tentacles can refer to the elongated flexible organs that are present in some animals, especially invertebrates, and sometimes to the hairs of the leaves of some insectivorous plants. Usually, they are used for feeding, feeling and grasping. Anatomically, they work like other muscular hydrostats arranged in pairs. (The only known exception is the bigfin squid The bigfin squids are a group of rarely seen cephalopods with a very distinctive morphology. They are placed in the genus Magnapinna and family Magnapinnidae. The family is known only from larval, paralarval, and juvenile specimens, but some authorities believe the adult creature has been seen: Several videos have been taken of animals nicknamed group, which have ten very long, thin arms of equal length.)
