Here is a blanket octopus.

argonaut

>>5027693 (OP)
Firefly squid

I like this bright blue octopus

>>5027693 (OP)
Obligatory

>>5028776
Fyck yeah.
Cuttlefish is the best.

>>5027717
True.

>>5028762
>>5028763
What a cute special little feller

>>5031374
why are its eyes like that

>>5031662
Most cephalopods have well developed eyes but nautilus have really bad vision for some reason

>>5031662
That's the anus, not an eye

>>5031374
why is he crying tar

It's always blown my mind that things like this still exist in this world

>>5031662
because they make you seethe

>>5028775
that is one cool looking cephalopod

>>5028776
>>5031374
Cuttles are the best with second place to the nuaghts.
Squid beats puss.

>>5032094
Nautilus are dead last. They’re a novelty but that’s about it. Cuttles, squids and octopus are all more interesting and just better in every way

>>5032173
kill yourself

>>5027693 (OP)
Why did it evolve into that? Those "sails" look like a hindrance to escaping predators or capturing food. Or does it use them for some illusion trick?

>>5032186
Seethe more. Your autistic obsession won’t change the facts

>>5032207
Nope

>>5032057
That's some good eatin

>>5032207
It allows him to channel magic more efficiently

>>5032207
They are retractable

>>5032173
Cute!

>>5027693 (OP)
The ones that developed from assholes

>>5032094
true, puss is overrated

>>5028776
Is that a flamboyant cuttlefish?

>>5027693 (OP)
Bump

>>5041066
Giant cuttlefish

>>5032207
It lives very deep under the sea and uses the sails to drift with the current to conserve energy

>>5032207
nobody would call him blanket octopus until he evolved a blanket. that's why the blanket is a bit of a rush job and isn't actually that comfortable

I love squid, they're very pretty

and finally

>>5027717
Fpbp

cats, ironically enough

>some of the most intelligent animals on the planet
>lifespans are too short to make any use of their intelligence
lol nice going nature lmao

>>5046138
They also get dabbed on by almost every vertebrate in the ocean

Thank god for cephaloautists, I love looking at all the squiddies

>>5048028
Same here. Best thread I've seen in a long time.

>>5047525
that's not really true
cephalopods tend to sit in the middle of the road, they get eaten by larger fish, sharks, and mammals, but they also primarily eat fish

Why do cephalopods have such short life spans compared to other sea critters their size?

>>5048730
So they dont become a threat

>>5046138
>some of the most intelligent animals on the planet
Correction.
Some of the most intelligent INVERTEBRATES on the planet.
>>lifespans are too short to make any use of their intelligence
Correction.
They don't need any time to teach their offspring any skills because 99% of their behavior is pre-programmed like insects.

Also, cephalopods are so primitive that they don't even have myelinated neurons.

>>5048731
Got a pet theory that the giant/colossal squid population exploded when the killer whale population was at its lowest.

>>5048741
>killer whale population was at its lowest.
*SPERM WHALE population was at its lowest.
