They move by squirting water through a siphon, a type of jet propulsion. When in danger, squid squirt a cloud of dark ink in order to confuse their attacker and allow the squid to escape. Squid reproduce by releasing eggs into the water. Some squid eggs are free-floating, others are attached to seaweed or to the ocean floor. Their eyes are very similar in structure to people's eyes.
Many animals prey upon squid, including many sharks and other fish , some whales , and people.
