Look, a cephalopod! ...but what exactly is a cephalopod, anyway? 🐙 🦑 October 8th to 12th are recognized as International Cephalopod Awareness Days — a time to celebrate this group of marine animals that includes squids, octopuses, and cuttlefish. Dive in and learn all about cephalopods with our Marine Life Encyclopedia: https://oceana.ly/48QnXDR | Oceana

We sea you! Say hello to this adorable, googly-eyed squid that was spotted 900 meters (2,950 feet) below the surface near the coast of California. | ABC7NY

Flamboyant cuttlefish just swam into Underwater Beauty in time for #CephalopodWeek! 🐙 These flashy cephalopods "walk" along the sand with their tentacles while using special pigment cells, or "chromatophores," to create patterns that roll down their bodies to mesmerize prey. Keep an eye on our channels to learn more about cephalopods all week, and get your tickets to see them up close: https://shedd.link/3wHLOjj | Shedd Aquarium
