Let's do Some Zoology!

I’m just a simple 18 year old guy and zoology student that posts random factoids about obscure animals and general animal science/zoology/biology stuff so if you like animals this is the place for you, if you only like cute animals this is not the place for you… I also like astronomy and some weirdos from youtube called the creatures so I’m prone to reblog stuff about that too because this techically is a personal blog...

Disclamer: none of the pictures are mine unless stated

Striped Pyjama Squid

(Sepioloidea lineolata)

also known as the Striped Dumpling Squid, Despite it’s name it is actually a cuttlefish of the order (Sepiida). They are native to the Southern Indo-Pacific centered around Southern Australia. while it may look cute it is actually fairly poisonous, it is pretty small and grows up to 2 in in length. they tend to bury themselves in the sand where their heads are only visible probably for protection/hunting.
