These #CephalopodWeek infographics shows everything you should know about squids

It’s the third-annual #CephalopodWeek and we’re celebrating the cephalove for squids, octopuses, nautiluses, and cuttlefish! There are a lot of neat facts about cephalopods, like how octopuses have little mini-brains in each of their tentacles, probably accounting for how they move.

But we’re getting ahead of ourselves. If all the cephalopod info out there seems dizzying to you, start with our infographics.

Take a look at these stunning cephalopods!
These paintings, octopus by Wakana Emori and squids by Koyo Inada, were part of the Museum’s 1956 Gyotaku Exhibit. Gyotaku is the traditional Japanese method of printing fish, a practice which dates back to the mid-1800s.
