Hello fish friends! Today is the vampire squid a real cutie! Named after its distinct color and appearance, it is the only living cephalopod that is a scavenger. It also has the largest eyes proportional to its body in the animal kingdom. It lives 2-3000feet deep so unfortunately seeing these beauties in person isnt easy. They also cant change colors like other cephalopods or shoot out ink, because both would be pointless in the darkness of that depth. Instead, when threatened, they shoot out a bioluminescent mucus. As cool as this is, I dont want to be sneezed on by a squid.
Doesn’t English have a different word for all animals from the sea? Like Frutti di Mare in Italian. Sea animals or something. Because fish is a classification, and you just can’t redefine meaning of words on the fly. And my ocd won’t let me sleep tonight until this important issue is resolved
Im not going to change the fun alliteration of the title to something like “primarily aquatic animals,” just because theyre not technically fish. I think with the amount of times i said cephalopod its pretty onvious it is, in fact, a cephalopod. Sorry, not sorry
Edit: I also think its completely reasonable to talk about cephalopods when talking about the general idea of fish. I mean, jellfish and shellfish both have fish in their names and neither classification is a fish. Again, if we really wanna be sticklers, fish arent even a thing. But this is tangential, because, again, Im just talking about what I want to
I just checked you posts, and I see until today you always posted about actual fishes on these fish fridays, so this is the first mistake of your life, I can forgive you.
