How Does the Squid Escape from Its Enemies?

The ten-armed squid, which is a cousin of the octopus, has an unusual way of escaping from its enemies. If the discs on its arms cannot hold onto its enemy through suction, the squid spurts out a dark fluid from its "ink sac" and sets up an underwater smoke screen. With its enemy in the dark, the squid can make its getaway.
