According to the current human discovery, a creature similar to Kraken Tentacles Of The Deep is the king squid. King squid, mainly living in the deep sea areas of the Pacific Ocean and the Atlantic Ocean. Generally speaking, the adult king squid can double its body length to10-13m. The legendary18-20m king squid on the Internet is basically exaggerated and there is not enough scientific proof.

The weight of the king squid is far lighter than everyone thinks. The largest female is only 275 kg, and the male is even only 150 kg. It is simply not slimmer. Their eyes alone have a diameter of 27 cm, which is bigger than basketball, which helps them to see more clearly in the dark deep sea. The sucker of the king squid is also 8 cm in diameter, which is about the size of an apple.

life habit

Squid king is one of the species with weak swimming ability among oceanic cephalopods. Its funnel lock is simple and straight, its water spraying ability is weak, its fins are small, and its paddling ability is not great. The concentration of ammonia ions in the muscles of the head, trunk and wrist of the king squid is high, and the proportion of ammonia ions is slightly smaller than that of seawater, so it can obtain greater buoyancy.

The pigment cells on the body surface, especially on the back, are well developed, and even the visceral surface has dark red pigment deposits. The expansion and contraction of pigment cells on the body surface make the body color change rapidly, which becomes a protective adaptability of squid.
