Need a tiny cephalopod to brighten your day? Meet the bobtail squid (Euprymna berryi)! Also known as the hummingbird squid, this critter typically grows only up to 2 in (5 cm) in length; females are larger than males. This species lives in Indo-Pacific waters, inhabiting the ocean floor where it burrows beneath sand to rest or hide when under threat. Its striking color comes from chromatophores, or pigment-holding cells, distributed throughout its body.
