squid, squids |
| definition: |
A squid is a kind of sea animal. It has a long, soft body and ten long things that stick out from its body near its mouth. These long things are called "tentacles," and the squid uses these to find food. They are also used to touch and hold other things and to help the squid move around in the water. People often catch squid and sell them for food.
Squid are related to octopuses, and like octopuses, they can be very small or very large. Can you imagine a squid as big as your living room?
