Did You Know?
Because you came for the food app and stayed for the marine biology.
Squid have three hearts. Two pump blood to the gills, one pumps it to the rest of the body. Cali has one for each tentacle cluster.
Squid move by sucking water into their body and blasting it out like a jet engine. Basically tiny organic rockets.
Squid have the largest brain-to-body ratio of any invertebrate. They're basically the valedictorians of the ocean.
Squid can change color in milliseconds using special cells called chromatophores. The ultimate outfit change.
The colossal squid has the largest eyes in the animal kingdom — the size of dinner plates. They see everything.
Squid blood is blue because it uses copper-based hemocyanin instead of iron-based hemoglobin. Royalty of the sea.
The word "calamari" comes from the Italian word for squid, "calamaro," which derives from the Latin "calamarium" (pen case) — because squid have a pen-shaped internal shell.
Squid have eight arms and two longer tentacles. The tentacles are for grabbing prey (and apparently rating food).
