These gorgeous models give a glimpse into the diversity of Cephalopods. They are considered the most intelligent of all invertebrates with the most developed nervous systems #CephalopodAwarenessWeek #MolluscMonday 🦑🐙

"A female blanket octopus gracefully gliding through the night. It was photographed under difficult conditions, low visibility from volcanic ash post the Taal volcano eruption and the eerie sounds of earthquakes rumbling underwater"

We hold the holotype of the infamous southern blue-ringed octopus @Museum_Cardiff! Living in rockpools in southern Australia they don’t look very threatening, but their venom can kill a human, so beware!

Giant squid radula, a sort of tongue with small teeth (gastropods have them too). Feels a bit like a cat's tongue. This helps push food down the oesophagus, which passes through the centre of the doughnut-shaped brain.

Brooding Squid ~ Gonatid females have small hooks on arms, used to carry up to 3,000 eggs until young hatch+swim away. As squid swim, water is slowly pumped through egg clusters, presumably to keep eggs supplied w/ fresh water+oxygen #PescaderoVentDiving2 youtu.be/ZCOd96ybvtU
