Uncharismatic Fact of the Day
Closely related to cuttlefish, it’s no surprise that bobtail squid are masters of camouflage. These species have a special symbiotic relationship with a bioluminescent bacteria called Aliivibrio fischeri; the bacteria inhabit a special organ in the squid’s main body, and emit light to match the amount of light around it, thus hiding the squid’s silhouette. In return, bobtail squid provide their bacteria with a mixture of sugar and amino acids.
