It's not a big deal but... is this a squid? I felt something wrong with this illustration. So I asked the AI. "Do squids have suction cups?" Then the AI answered, "Yes". ...oh, I see. This illustration is not wrong. And I've learned something new.


...By the way, isn't this too much new wedge? 😅

It looks more like an octopus than a squid, but it might just be a translation error 🤷 They are pretty similar fs, but octopi have round heads and squid have triangular ones (rough descriptions based on google images lol)

That makes sense. If it is revised in the future, I will give a knowing smirk 😄

All octopi are cephalopods. All squids are cephalopods. Squids and Octopi however are separate Orders. In Taxonomy the split between them occurs at the Order level. The main distinction between Squid and Octopi is that Squid have two tentacles that are MUCH longer than the rest, while octopi typically have all tentacles at roughly the same length or one that is far longer, but not two that are far longer. Additionally, Squids have a shell, while Octopi do not.

@IVIA I'm just a dinosaur nerd. Taxonomy tends to fit in to that. xD
