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.

    Ok, now I understand what you say, so for friday fish facts you can just add mammal facts as well, so the post is still wrong, because cephalopods are not fish, but me on the beach is a fish.

    Fun friday fish fact about me, a human fish: if you swim in the sea with a long beard, there is a big chance that small dead fishes will get tangled in your beard. Wash your beard after swimming in the sea as the smell of these small dead fishes will become unbearable later.

      Now you’re getting it, human fish fact would be far more technically correct than a cephalopod being there. But fish doesn’t have to be a scientific term, just like tomato and cucumber can culinarily be vegetables, so too can a cephalopod be a fish. Just not scientifically. https://youtu.be/hVjSJV0WoDQ scishow did a shorter video on the topic too.
