All Molluscs have a mantle which secretes the shell. They
possess soft bodies and open circulatory systems. This means that blood bathes the cells
directly with nutrients. Most have a foot for locomotion which is muscular. Examples of
Molluscs include, clams, squids, octopus, cuttlefish, snails. Squids are Cephalopods,
which translated means, "head, foot. They can use jet propulsion to escape enemies and
for locomotion. Their arms and tentacles are derived from the foot. Their large eyes are
adaptations to make them excellent at seeing and locating their prey. Squid can use
camoflauge to blend into their surroundings which is another adaptation for both hiding
from predators and when they are hunting for prey.
