The cephalopods, which include the squid, octopus and cuttlefish are exclusively marine animals that are found from shallow water to the deepest parts of the oceans. The cephalopods belong to the Phylum Mollusca, which also includes the mussels, limpets, slugs and snails. The name cephalopod means head-foot, which reflects the evolution of the muscular foot of the ancestral mollusc into the head and arms of the modern cephalopod. In both squid and octopus a ring of eight muscular arms covered with suckers surrounds the mouth. Squid also have two extendible tentacles that are used to capture prey.
