I am going to stop posting on Twitter on July 18th. If you still want your daily fix of cephalopods, you can find me on Bluesky (There is a cephalopod starter pack) and also on Instagram

- This has to be the best and most awkward depiction of octopus mating. The embarrassment is palpable. ππ·Pearse et al (Living invertebrates, 1987)
- I find it hilarious that one pattern cuttlefish like to do is a big white square on their mantle. They are great at doing patterns to blend in with their enviroment but sometimes they just think "time for β "
- This might be the most confident I've seen anyone.
- Here's what the TBH Creature might look like if it was a cephalopod
- Pass the popcorn!πΏ In 2020, scientists velcro'd 3D glasses to European common cuttlefish (Sepia officinalis) and set up a 3D theatre to study how they percieve depth perception. I know this is very cool research but I can't get over how goofy they look like this.
- This image of octopus mating never fails to make me laugh. The awkward tension depicted is palpable. This is why you always knock first.
- The sound is unfortunately fake. Here is the original audio:

00:00 - These might not look like squids, but just you wait! These are actually the egg masses of the Diamondback squid (Thysanoteuthis rhombus) These masses have a length of 0.6 to 1.8 m with a diametre of 11 to 30 cm andcontain between 35,000 to 75,000 eggs. That's a lot of squid!
- It's so cute when cuttlefish have these droopy eyesγγγγΌγγγ¦γ葨ζ γγγγγβ¦π¦
00:00 - This is not a vampire squid at all, but a cirrothauma magna, which is a species of cirrate octopus. Vampire squids, although related to octopuses, are not octopuses. This video is also greatly sped up and mirrored. This is not how fast they actually move.Vampire squid propelling itself across the sea floor by flapping the fins on its side x.com/Levandov_2/staβ¦Readers added contextThis is not a Vampire Squid.
