Cephalopods (Octopus and squids)

Cephalopods are a group of mollusks, including octopus and squids, important for some coastal cultures, either as food or bait.

Cephalops are a group of mollusks, including octopus and squids. They have arms concentrated in the head region, complex circulatory, digestive, and nervous systems, well-developed eyes, and an ink sac that can discharge a cloud of dark pigment to confuse predators. They can also change their body color to escape predator, camouflage, or communicate between them by controlling pigment cells in their skin.
