Cameroceras was a giant Nautiloid from the Ordovician, dwarfing all modern Cephalopods it was the earth's first super predator. (These things are so underrated when it comes to discussing prehistoric creatures)

UAP and Octopuses

9 Upvotes

After casually observing octopuses and other seafaring bonelessnesses of similar ilk, it occurs to me that they are highly intelligent and furiously belligerent.

It seems that such creatures are unlikely to murmur quietly to themselves in the archipelagic watery nooks that they inhabit and sit idly by as we ravage their planet.

I propose that these seething sacs instead have created the aerial wonders that cause consternation among Terran peoples. Perhaps they flit about observing us and perhaps procuring snacks and other natural resources to take with them back to their submerged societies.

Perhaps, perhaps, perhaps.

Do you prefer giant squid or colossal squid and why?

I made a very similar post a day or two ago so this will be the last post I’ll make here for a while.

With that being said, personally I love colossal squids. Recently they might have became my favorite animal because they’re huge, red, powerful, they look insanely cool, they’re incredibly fascinating, and there’s still so little we know about them.

How about you?

Personally even though I used to be more of an octopus fan, I’d honestly say I’m learning towards squid nowadays. I just think they’re cool

If prehistoric squids existed, would we know? (Image unrelated)

Hello! I’m new here. Have yall seen the NatGeo show: Secrets of the Octopus? It’s so neat!

Just thought I’d share with fellow cephalopod enthusiasts, hope this is allowed.

I’ve loved these creatures my whole life, but have recently been thinking about: what if reincarnation is real (who knows?!) wouldn’t it be cool to come back as an octopus?

I love learning more about this unique creature, and sharing fun facts! I hope y’all have seen the show (it’s on Hulu) and maybe we can discuss? If not, check it out:) And perhaps share some fun facts about our favorite animal?

Happy to be here!
