TIL that bobtail squid are called globitos in Spanish and that is so cute I could die.

This lovely article by Gustavo Sanchez covers the evolutionary relationship between bobtails and bottletails. Sidenote, many scientists think we shouldn't even call these animals squid but... that's a whole other can of worms.

Enjoy:

A bobtail squid! My patrons voted for this little guy as February’s sticker design, and it went through QUITE a journey from concept to completion. In the end I thought the blue/green was too close to a blue coelacanth sticker I’d already made, so I fiddled around with the colors and landed on orange!

realized i forgot to upload the fullbodies of hollowspur/briskwater/hawkwasp's parents Barbclaw and Bobtail. Bobtail was the deputy until her untimely death.

Do you like Squid Facts? 🔲Yes 🔲No

This valentines day, we thought you might need a little help from cephalopods to celebrate. Get a pack of 20 cards for your classroom, your coworkers, your neighborhood, frankly anyone who needs both a valentine AND a little bit of science to boot.

Get 'em here: https://squidfacts.bigcartel.com/

Proceeds benefit science education nonprofit Skype a Scientist AND the graduate student who designed these cards who is studying octopuses (Meg Mindlin @invertebabe!). Meg is trying to afford to get to a cephalopod neuroscience conference later this year and these cards will help her get there 🫡

They, of course, come with the classic heart stickers, a range of shades of pink and purple included.
