  • Flickr Friday: Baby Bobtail

    Updated: 2010-04-23 14:59:15
    Minute Cephalopod, originally uploaded by PacificKlaus. The photographer spotted this juvenile Bobtail Squid on a night dive off the Philippine island of Mactan. Bobtails—the order Sepiolida—are closely related to cuttlefish (order Sepiida), but they have a rounder mantle and don’t possess a cuttlebone. I don’t know what species this is, but it is the epitome of [...]

  • Squid Table by Jetty Lauson

    Updated: 2010-04-21 16:39:35
    This table with a stylized squid design was made by Jetty Lauson two years ago…when she was eleven! I wish I had been able to do something this creative and cool when I was eleven. (Well, I did make a series of crudely drawn slug cartoons, but they sure aren’t anything anyone would describe as [...]
