This is literally the coolest thing i,ve ever done eever Uni sucks sometimes but asjorfkfkdowso I’m foaming at the mouth it’s a SQUIDD!!! I GOT TO STUDY A REAL SQUID!!!!!!!!!!!

the specimen wasn’t labelled, but given the fin length & shape combined with the fact that he was caught in the south indicated to me that he’s probably sepioteuthis australis? His lowermost arms were even hectocotylized, meaning the squid’s male!

I could even see all the sucker teeth and the chromatophores and AAHHHJFFGGKGKG SO COOLLLL
