Striped pyjama squid
The striped pyjama squid is a small squid that lives on the seafloor in the Indo-Pacific waters of Australia. It hides by burying itself in the sand, with only the top of its head and its yellow eye showing. Its saliva contains a toxin, which makes it a squid to leave alone.1

- Okunyiga n'okunyweza ekitundu (pressure immobilisation): zinga bandeeji egolomoka ennywevu ku kifo ekirumiddwa, oluvannyuma ogende waggulu ku kitundu kyonna, kinyweze n'omuti (splint), era omuntu muleke ateetambulira ddala okutuusa obuyambi lwe butuuka.
- Blue-ringed octopus oba cone snail esobola okuyimiriza omuntu okussa ng'akyategeera: kuba essimu okufuna obuyambi era beera mwetegefu okumufuuwamu omukka (rescue breaths) okutuusa ambulensi lw'etuuka n'ekwata omulimu.
Bulijjo sooka kuba ennamba y'ebigwa bitalaze (112, 000, 911). Buno bulagirizi bwa bujjanjabi obusooka obwa bulijjo, si kuwabula kwa musawo. Obujjanjabi obusooka obw'omusingi
Weekuume
- Tokwatako, tokwata wadde okusoomooza ensolo ey'omu nsiko, ne bw'eba ntono, era ne bw'eba erabika nga yeebase oba nga efudde.
- Gireke n'ebbanga. Bw'osisinkana emu, beera mukkakkamu, dda emabega mpola era gireke egende mu kkubo lyayo.
- Bw'oba okikutteko oba okiridde: tokolokota maaso go wadde akamwa, naaza engalo zo era funa obuyambi bw'abasawo.

Ebituufu
The male uses a spoon-shaped arm to remove sperm from another male if he finds it in the female.1
It can change its colour to dark brown or purple when attacked or to blend in with its surroundings.1
Its white stripes reflect white light, while its dark stripes are tiny pigment sacs called chromatophores that it can flash.1
It buries itself in the sand during the day and keeps flicking sand over its body to stay hidden.1
Worm-like parasites called dicyemids live inside it and feed on its urine.1
Like many members of its order, the male usually dies after mating.1
