What better way to celebrate Cephalopod Week than with a stubby squid?

Last year, we teamed up with Nautilus Live to explore the deep ocean in and around Channel Islands National Marine Sanctuary, and spotted this little googly-eyed cephalopod!

Though they look like a cross between an octopus and a squid, stubby squid are actually closely related to cuttlefish. They spend their lives on the seafloor, coating themselves in a mucus jacket and burrowing into the sediment. Leaving just those big eyes peeking above the surface, they remain buried until prey items like shrimp or small fish – or a curious ROV – pass by.

I like cephalopods, and think they are very interesting creatures. I hope they continue being very intelligent and awesome. I also hope they manage to somehow break past their two-year limited lifespan. I believe in you, cephalopods.

The striped pyjama squid may seem shy and sleepy, but beware to all passing shrimp! These nocturnal hunters bury themselves in the sand with only their eyes peeking out, waiting for something tasty to stroll by.
