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. :)

Male octopus's have two special tentacle that are longer than the other six. He puts a sperm packet into the female with one of these tentacles.

All life on Earth is related to some degree, so the answer has to be 'yes' for any two orgsnaisms you care to name. \n\nAre sharks related to dolphins? Yes.\nAre jellyfish related to bananas? Yes.\nAre bacteria related to ostriches? Yes.\n\nIn fact maggots and termites are fairly losely related, both being insects. \n\nMaggots are the larval form of various fly species, kind of like fly catterpillars. Termites belong to a 'primitive' group of insects that don't have a true larval form. Instead they hatch out looking like minitaure adults. So, although they are both insects, maggots and termites are about as distantly related as it's possible for two insects to be.\n\nThat makes termites and maggots about as closely related as a whale and a kangaroo.

Possibly something about their life span (they live only about a year or two) or the fact that an octopus is really just a giant squid.  Or that they are sometimes known as "devil fish".  Or that they are masters of disguise and use camouflage well.  These sites should give you lots of ideas.  I hope this helps.

Are you asking if that's really what they call themselves?  If so yea, marines are jarheads, navy is squids, and I honestly don't know the other.

They are cousins.  The cuttlefish has a cuttlebone, the squid does not.

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.

A museum in Britain recently got a hold of a fairly well preserved one about 28 feet long.  I believe larger ones have been found, and based on (spikes?  sucker marks? beaks of eaten squid?) measured on sperm whales, truly humongous ones are out there.  \n\nA Japanese team got several photographs of a live one, a major first. The National Geo article linked to below has more history on giant squid observations.\n\nThey are hard to find because they live very deep and the oceans are large to boot.  Something like that is going to need a large hunting area so there won't be a huge concentration of them.

My favorite Cenozoic creatures are octopus!  Octopus rule!  They're slimy, squishy, intelligent, can change color like crazy, have all those extra arms, venom, big eyes (that they can squish into small cracks) and are overall 100% neat.\n\n(Just to be clear, the Cenozoic extends right to the present day.  If you want something extinct, it's a toss up between giant ground sloth, glyptodonts and moa.  You've gotta love ground sloth, glyptodonts and moa!)

According to MY dictionary (the Oxford pocket Dictionary and Thesaurus,) it's Octopuses.\n\nBut according to\nhttp://dictionary.reference.com/browse/octopi\noctopi is fine!! My spell-checker thinks it's okay too...!!\n; )\n\nIf you offered me an 'octopie' - I'd think it was covered in pastry!!\n\nOh, and it's 'spelt' OR 'spelled'!! BOTH are correct...!\n; )
