Respiratory
When the squid takes a lot of energy to move as quickly as they did, they had three heart. Blue-blooded squid. Two of them are located close to the heart of each gill. This, they can pump oxygen into the body to rest easily. The squid has a copper compound principal respiratory system. This is in contrast to humans where humans have a basic metal compound respiratory system. If too close to the surface where there is hot water, the squid can die easily because of suffocation.

Habitat
The possibility of living in deep water during the winter, but in May he entered the shallow water to incubate their eggs.

Digestive System
Squid are carnivores. This means that meat-eaters. Tentacel longer capture prey. Attract squid meal with tentacel shorter when food was taken away by force like a duck beak. Then radula banging down the esophagus so that food will drop into the stomach to digest. Radula is a ribbon horn on the tongue.

Reproduction
Cuttlefish produce sexually. Squid females spend a lot of threads eggs into the water. Cuttlefish males remove sperm. Some species have been developed to put the sperm in the squid or female. It has always been a mystery of science how eggs get fertilized squid.

Role
The squid is economic necessity, because they are used as food and as bait in fishing nets. They feed small fish, crustaceans and squid and other fish foods in a circle of other equipment is great.

about the "squid - giant squid"
Natural History Museum Darwin Centre London show off a giant squid is the world's largest and terutuh in March, cuttlefish (squid) giant was netted by fishermen in the waters around the Falkland Islands (Malvinas Islands).

Giant squid is the length of 8.2 meters (28 feet), exhibited in a glass shelf over 9 meters.

Giant squid are very rare, once considered the nation's snakes in the ocean, they live at depths of 200-1000 meters below the sea. Giant squid specimens are intact and this huge weight is a rare giant squid can reach 1000 kg: the largest squid ever captured in 1880, 18.5 meters in length, the squid was caught in the bay near New Zealand.

Researchers from the National History Museum said, the carcass of a giant squid usually stranded on the beach, or recovered from the belly of the whale. Therefore, squid specimen is intact and large this is very rare.

Preparation of squid exhibit this takes several months. First of all research staff took 4 days to thaw the squid. Because of the size of the squid is very large, but, claws and whiskers are very smooth, so as not to damage the claws or whiskers when thawed squid needs to be done very carefully and meticulously.

Researchers first put the squid into the water, however, they closed the whiskers and claws squid with ice, then destroyed to prevent it, they inject the squid's body with liquid formalin.

In addition, the museum needs to find someone to order the manufacture of glass shelves and glass racks can not only contain the giant squid, after all, can save a whole squid for future research.

Museum decided to seek the help of an artist who is famous for its exhibition of animal carcasses, and that person is Jon Ablett. From the artist, the museum managed to find a company that can make this a special glass shelves. The squid was now put in a glass box, and inside was filled with formalin.
