Expanded Information

It is not easy for ordinary sea fish to hunt squid because the squid's ink also contains toxins, which can be used to paralyze enemies. Dolphins are one of the squid's natural enemies, and dolphins will go around the smoke screen in hot pursuit of the squid. Dolphins only eat the heads of squid, and one dolphin can swallow the heads of hundreds of squid. Sperm whales are also one of its natural enemies.

Squids are good swimmers, especially in a straight line, and some species can even "fly" a short distance out of the water. Squids can spray ink and change color, but they are far less capable of doing both than animals in the cuttlefish family.
