A squid is a cephalaopod. It's size
ranges from two inches to fifty feet. The giant squid is the
largest of all invertebrates. Squids have eyes that are
similar to humans. When a squid is endangerd, it emits a
large cloud of ink. After a squid lays babys, it dies soon
afterward. Squids are called embryos when they are layed.
The embryo are are often eaten by gray rays. (Thus the gray
ray has been nicknamed, "the ray of death.") Although
billions of embryo have been saved, twenty percent of the
embryos die before they are hatched. Squid eggs hatch in
about a month's time. The fortunately for the squids, eggs
taste bad to humans.
