As mentioned
previously, squids and cuttlefishes have two tentacles equipped with suckers
only at their distal ends as well as eight arms that bear suckers along their
length. In terms of skeletons, squids have only a vestigial shell called a pen
and a horny beak. These cephalopods are excellent swimmers that have streamlined
bodies. Lateral fins serve as stabilizers, but are held close to the body for
rapid swimming. |
