The thing i found most interesting about this animal is the fact that is has so many amazing functions like the siphon that shoots water out and the chromatophores lets the squid change colour. The other cool thing i found interesting is the fact that the ink sac can actually be used to write with pencil. This  animal is useful to the environment because squid love cold fresh water and if there is squid, then you know the water is fresh! They also are apart of the food chain with whales such as the sperm whale.

  1. I agree with what you thought was cool about the squid, the coolest part for me was writing with the pen and the ink from the ink sac. That was my favourite dissection so far.
