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.
