You may have heard that squid have the largest eyes of the animal kingdom. But that's not ALL they take the cake in. Taningia danae, the 7+ foot long tank of a squid has lemon-sized photophores that glow yellow-green. They're the largest of any animal! #Squidtember

Time for your bad squid doodle of the day! Caribbean reef squid are friendly & super social! They hang out in squads of about 4-30. Divers and snorkelers will often find them, smallest to largest, in a line. They turn themselves brown and line up with algae to camouflage. #Squidtember

So excited to learn that we are in the month of #squidtember! There were TONS of opalescent squid eggs masses at Redondo Beach, just south of Seattle, about a month ago. I lost my mind when I was going through my photos at home and zoomed in to see those little babies with their eyes developing!
