Ah, the sweet rams horn squid. What absolute silly gooses. They have the body of a breakfast sausage.

Like a couple other cephalopods, they are off on their own in the cephalopod family tree. There's nothing else alive QUITE like them.

For a long time we only had trawling samples and their shells to know them by. Then in 2020 we got a video of them! Looking... so suspicious. You'd think we just caught them eating a cookie that their mom very specifically told them were for the COMPANY and not to TOUCH.

a ton of my favorite sanders sides fics were written by you. it seems they were deleted (or at least i can't find them), and im curious as to what happened? or if there's anywhere else to access them?

Cephalopod of the day is: Rams-horn Squid/Spirula

A smaller species of Goose Barnacle, known to prefer small floating objects as its habitat, and especially the floating shells of Ram’s-horn Squid (Spirula spirula)
