Actually, octopi was never the correct plural for octopus.  People thought it was because many Latin nouns use "i" at the end to create a plural, but octopus was a Greek loan word.  So, neither octopi nor octopuses was actually the original way to pluralize octopus, but at least octopuses follows the typical English method of pluralization!\n\nThe plural of apparatus is apparatus (via Latin) or apparatuses (via English), because in Latin, apparatus is part of a set of nouns that does not use the "i" ending to make a plural. :)

Mmmm..I wonder why. Last week thousands of squids died in a beach next to my locaction, and a samll whale died this week also.\nWe have La Niña phenomenon here (south Pacific...very very south), means a rise in the avarage temperature of the sea. Maybe with that temperature some bacterias or viruses begin to multiply and they affect the behaviour of animals.\nMaybe there are changes in magnetic fields that affect their orientation.

Here you go:\n\nhttp://www.bsd.sk.ca/~mkozlow/ocean/OctopusandSquid.html#anchor3361022\n\nActually they both have eight ARMS but squids also have 2 tentacles.

That's hilarious!  A squid doesn't have a pen, it has ink!

pseudopod means false foot.  It refers to the foot-like appendage the mollusk uses to move around.

The Architeuthis dux is often known as the Giant Squid. Because scientists do not know exactly where in the sea it lives, they have never been able to study it. Specimens have measured up to 18 m (59 ft) in length and 900 kg (1,980 lb) in weight.

None - Cuttlefish have tentacles.\n\nCuttlefish are marine animals of the order Sepiida belonging to the Cephalopoda class (which also include squids, octopuses and nautilus). Although the name suggests it, cuttlefish are not fish, but molluscs.

Most sea monsters like Loc Ness are only myths that started long ago to explain odd happenings. But there are lagre creature that do ocupy the ocean and other deep bodies of waters. There are Giant Squids (Architeuthis dux)and other creatures that have adapted to live deep in the oceans. Usually the can live in high pressure and low light conditions and are generally not too cute looking in you are interested you could try this web site http://www.extremescience.com/deepcreat.htm

After seeing the brand-new first photos of the giant squid alive in its habitat, I agree with you that there are resemblances...\n\nWell, both fly...\nI mean one flies under water, \nwhich I guess technically would be swimming.\n\nDid you know they're jet powered, squid that is,\nthey take in water at the front and expel water \nbehind for propulsion just like jet planes work in air. \nEagles take in air through their skin and feathers,\nbut they don't expel it for propulsion,bad choice there.\n\nAnd they both have feathers, except the squid doesn't.\n\nThey DO both have BEAKS!\nNow that can't be overlooked.\n\nAnd they both have tentacles, but the eagle's tentacles have bones in them are are called "legs".\n\nHmmm... I could go on, but I put it to you that \nNOONE has ever seen a Giant Squid and a Bald Eagle\nin the same place. One lives deep in the ocean and one in the sky. Perhaps the Bald Eagle, proud symbol of America, has had a secret identity all this time?\n\nWell, with the new squid photos I think the jig is up.

Salmon is a sigular and plural word. It is used for "a salmon" and "salmon are neat fish". Some words are used like this. Some have a different spelling altogether and others just add and s at the end.

Tentacle are to animals who have them, as arms are to mankind. They grab and hold things. Some animals have poison secreted in their tentacles as a means of defense.
