One of my hands down favourite thing about cephalopod science is that if an animal isn't already a cuttlefish, nautilus or an octopus is that they just call it a squid, even when it is not actually part of that group. Spirulida? BOOM rams horn squid. Vampyrotheusis? VAMPIRE SQUID. It's just so funny to me lol

@chitinskin9860 Жыл бұрын

The same thing sort of happens with any apocritan that isn't a bee or an ant. They just call them all wasps, even though they aren't in the vespid group, with some having more in common with bees than vespids (basically the same thing happening with the vampire squid and its relationship to octopus). Heck, sometimes it even extends beyond apocritans into sawflies, like wood wasps, they don't even have the classic wasp body shape. Though in this case it can be a lot more annoying because the word wasp has too many homonyms that have similar meanings, one of which is a paraphyly (excluding bees and ants), another that's basically just a synonym for apocritan, and one that's based entirely on local vernacular (European English uses wasp as a synonym for yellowjackets for some reason, still referring to higher taxons as wasps, but not the same kind).

Despite its name, the vampire squid (Vampyroteuthis infernalis) is neither a vampire or a squid, it is the sole living member of the order Vampyromorphida, which belongs to the superorder Octopodiformes, with the octopi (order Octopoda) being the closest living relatives of the vampire squid, squid are a wastebasket taxon within the superorder Decapodiformes, because the only members of the superorder Decapodiformes that aren't considered squid are cuttlefish (order Sepiida).

Entertaining and informative! Thinking about it now vampire squids do make surprisingly good scavengers, thanks for the video!
