#CephalopodFriday erste Filmaufnahmen eines lebenden Koloss-Kalmars aus dem Südatlantik in ca 680 m Tiefe
scifri.bsky.social Science Friday @scifri.bsky.social · Apr 18
This week, scientists released the first video of a colossal squid in its natural habitat, filmed nearly 2,000 feet deep in the South Atlantic Ocean.

Dr. Kat Bolstad, who helped identify the squid, joins us to talk about the sighting.
A Colossal Squid Video? That’s A Big Deal
Researchers captured the first confirmed video of a colossal squid swimming in its natural habitat—almost 2,000 feet deep.

Squid anatomy

🦑 Squid Anatomy🦑

I am so genuine- if you are a marine biologist who has written or wants to write a comic, please consider this post my application.
🐡🌊💥
Squid Parts of a squid are labeled: Mantle (covers organs), fin, gladius/pen (internal, chitin structure), arm, tentacles, eye, siphon (for moving with jet propulsion), beak, radula Squid have 8 arms and 2 tentacles. Arms are tapered and have suckers all along them. Tentacles are more elastic and only have suckers on their ends. Some species' suckers have rings of serrated teeth or hooks. Cephalopods are measured by their mantle length, because their limbs are muscular hydrostats. This means they expand and contract as needed and do not have a static length. Inside a Squid Drawing of a squid with internal organs labeled: Beak, complex brain, esophagus, pen/gladius, stomach, gonad, brachial heart, gill, systemic heart, ink sac Squid have 3 brains- one behind each eye and a central, doughnut-shaped brain surrounding the esophagus. If they take too big a bite, they risk damaging their brains. Cephalopod means "head-foot," a reference to the structure of these molluscs. Most cephalopods is the suckers in their arms to taste their environment to help determine what is or isn't prey.

Kennt ihr die wunderschöne Argonauta?

Argonauts (family Argonautidae) are a family of octopuses where the females live in egg cases that look like shells.

They are also called paper nautiluses, although nautiluses are actually named after argonauts.

Juvenile argonauts will also hitchhike on jellyfish.

#OCTOtober
A close up of Brown Argonaut (Argonauta hians) in blackwater. It is mostly in its wavy "shell". The only parts visible are is its eye with an orange iris, part of its arms with are facing sucker side out, a small part of its head and its siphon. A Brown Argonaut (Argonauta hians) riding a red bell jellyfish. The argonaut is sitting on the bell of the jellyfish, and the jellyfish is swimming downward, so the whole thing is upsidedown. The jellyfish has a dark orange bell and light orange arms. The argonaut has a wavy, spiral eggcase that it wears like a shell. The egg case is a offwhite with black or grey on the outer rim. The argonaut itself is mostly in the egg case but you can see its head and part of its arms sticking out of the egg case. Its arms are sucker side out, and it has a bright orange eye with a round black pupil. A female Brown Argonaut (Argonauta hians) sitting on a stick. She has a spiral "shell" that is actually an egg case. Her arms are bent back into the shell, showing her suckers. The shell is an off white, and the argonaut is red with bluish white suckers and orange eyes. The stick is held by a persons hand. The argonaut is 2-3 thumb widths tall. A juvenile Brown Argonaut (Argonauta hians) riding on top of a jellyfish. The argonaut is in a small, wavy "shell" with the ends of its arms in the "shell." Most of the arms are exporsed with the sucker side out. The argonaut has a fairly large eye with a yellow iris.

Octopeace! (Octopus with split arm tip) ...sometimes in cephs, arm healing goes haywire and mini arms will regenerate where single suckers were before. Seen today on 'peachy' octopus (O. tetricus) at Sealife Sydney Aquarium

For #FindsFriday a sherd of London post-medieval redware with a light lead glaze. A wheel-thrown coarse type of ceramic made in potteries in & around the capital eg Woolwich, Deptford, Lambeth, Moorfields. Love that the potter has scratched a crude motif into the rim, perhaps with a twig or similar.

Some cranchiid species will pull their heads and limbs into their mantles, and honestly, yeah, I get it.

🦑📷pcaiger (inaturalist.ca/observations...)
A Googly-eyed Glass Squid (Teuthowenia pellucida) floating in the sea having pulled its head into its mantle. Its flesh is transparent, except for its eyes, and an golden organ in its mantle. It has orange translucent chromatophores that cover its mantle, making it look like its covered polka dots. Because it is transparent, you can see its head and arms that are pulled into the mantle.

#CephalopodFriday: "Haben Sie schon einmal darüber nachgedacht, welche Vorteile es hat, einen charmanten, sardonischen Kopffüßler als direkten Vorgesetzten zu haben?"

Bis jetzt noch nicht.
Aber wenn ich so an einige Chefs/Chefinnen zurückdenke, wäre es definitiv eine verlockende Option.
