MOLLUSCA!
The lobby outside my lab room at USYD is filled with a collection of preserved animals, I thought you guys might like to take a look at some of the marine-related displays.
Phylum MOLLUSCA! This large group of animals are defined by the presence of a muscular foot attached to a soft, unsegmented body, most of which is protected by a mantle (scales, spines, or shell). The phylum includes snails, octopuses, squid, clams, scallops, oysters, and chitons.
Only cephalopods are shown here, which are complex predators with well developed eyes and brains. Note the Blue Ringed Octopus, a notoriously venomous and beautiful animal.
From top to bottom: 1) Hapalochlaena maculosa (Blue Ringed Octopus) 2) Octopus vulgaris 3) unidentified squid.
