Fish Facts wrote:Squids are fascinating, mysterious creatures. They move by sucking water into the front of their mantle, and then pushing it out so that the squid can rocket forward with jet propulsion. As you probably know, squids have a self defense mechanism that allows them to shoot ink from a gland, which allows them to disorient and obfuscate.
Squids are well known for their intelligent and curious nature. The Houdini of the sea, squids are able to squeeze their way out of pretty much any space. They also have extremely strong beaks that is used to rip small pieces off of their food. This beak is made so well that it is actually indigestible to most species. Intact squid beaks have been found in the bellies of whales and sharks.
They are carnivorous, and their diets mostly consist of fish, shrimp, and other squid. There are even recorded cases of them attacking and eating small whales.
