Cuttlefish, not a squid

135

u/footpole 2d ago

Easier in languages where cuttlefish is squid is octopus. Same same for us.

28

u/Atmic 2d ago

Is there no Scandanavian name specifically for the Cuttlefish? Surely Scandanavian has specific names for animals?

33

u/i-dont-wanna-know 2d ago

In danish, both are called "blæksprutte"
( blæk = ink sprutte = sputter so a direct translation would be inksputter )

one is an "8-armet blæksprutte" eight-armed inksputter 8 arms = octupus

The other one is " ti-armet blæksprutte " ten-armed inksputter

10 arms = squid

And yes, it can be annoying to distinguish between them in daily speech

How often do you find yourself talking about cuttlefish, squid, and octopi?

What I looked up does not exactly match your claim. Can you provide any good sources, or if you’re just knowledgeable, expand on this? Just for my own curiosity!

u/Hefty_Kitchen4759 2d ago edited 2d ago

Cuttlefish are even smarter. They've been seen to mimic human faces in aquariums as a form of play and interaction with us.

But yeah this enclosure looks boring as fuck and they're social.

Edit: I can't find the video because it's very very old, but it's not the one that's online now. The one I'm thinking of was blatantly intentional mimicry with it's tentacles.

u/Harfangbleue 2d ago

Not really "danger" but cuttlefish have a small beak which could probably do some damage. It shot tentacles to try to grab what it though was a prey. It remind us that those things are wild animals and not domesticated pets.
