Squid,


This is a “Southern Calamari Squid” (Sepioteuthis australis). The information on the display said, “These intelligent mollusks use their large eyes to spot small fish, then dart out and grab them with their tentacles. They swim with the use of wing like fins, but for bursts of speed they squirt jets of water through a siphon tube below the head.”
